Check out “Tomcat—A Minimalistic User’s Guide”: “Tomcat can be used as either a stand-alone container (mainly for development and debugging) or as an add-on to an existing web server (currently Apache, IIS and Netscape servers are supported).”

Some server admins would prefer to open as few ports as possible—like port 80 running apache and then plugin other application servers (like Tomcat) into apache.

It seems a bit curiosu to me that you install apache2 before tomcat. Correct me if im wrong, but Tomcat should be able to stand on its own 2 feet without installing apache, no?

This is approaching a year old now, but is still the best, most concise, and most functional tutorial I could find. It has the added bonus of avoiding the manual editing of .bashrc. Only minimal tweaks were necessary for Tomcat 5.5, Java6, and Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty. On the off chance you still read comments for this, Thanks!
