... snip...
Valid reasons to need it include:
* Tomcat standalone is not fast enough (note that this is different from a rule saying select the "fastest possible" solution -- that turns out not to be a requirement in every scenario).
* You need the extra features that Apache provides (such as integration with existing modules).
* You need to run on port 80 in an environment that requires root for this.
* You already know how to configure it, so there's no extra learning curve.
I would include load-balancing as well (multiple Tomcats, one or more Apaches).
Blindly installing Apache+Tomcat because "that's the thing to do" is a waste of effort in many scenarios.
Agreed.
