You are wrong. Tomcat is a standalone java web server. However, it is
common to run both apache and tomcat on the same machine letting apache
take the connections on port 80 and reverse-proxy to tomcat on a
different port (possibly balancing multiple servers) either with the ajp
connector or http proxy with ProxyPass or controlled by RewriteRules.
This gives you slightly more efficient handling of static pages and the
things apache does well, avoids the need to run tomcat as root to access
port 80 and doesn't add too much overhead for the java sites. As long
as you can isolate things in the apache config by location or virtual
host names it works pretty well.
