apache httpd server is not related to tomcat. It's a "classical" web 
server (http://httpd.apache.org/). Tomcat is a java application server. 
If you are under linux, there most probably an already existing package 
for this. If you are under windows, you can simply have your tomcat 
listen to port 80.
