Which is usually a Bad Idea.
Tomcat knows that it should not serve, e.g., the contents of a WEB-INF 
directory.
Apache httpd does not know that.
So unless you proxy *everything* to Tomcat (which would then raise the 
question of why you have Apache), Apache will happily serve your 
WEB-INF/web.xml for instance (and anything else in there you thought was 
private).
