If you include the automatically generated files that tomcat creates in
your apache conf, then you have to start tomcat, then apache. The
shutdown order is irrelevant.

If you do what's best for you (learn the configuration and do not use
the automatically generated confs) then you just include a static file
in your apache configuration, and will not need to restart apache when
you restart tomcat.

CAVEAT: tomcat 3.2.x has a bug in mod_jk: it is not ready for the
disappearence of workers. as a result, if you restart tomcat, a new tcp
connection will be done, but the old one will still be there and calls
for servlets will cause an internal server error, untill the tcp
connection is discarded due to a timeout, or something. As a result,
even though you shouldn't need, you have to restart apache if you
restart tomcat. I don't know about the 3.3.x or 4.x series.
