All connectors all come bundled with Tomcat.

It looks like the HTTP connector is being discussed, here, which is part
of Tomcat as well.

Some connectors (such as the ajp13 ones) require another piece of
software to be installed somewhere else such as a web server. If you've
heard of mod_jk, that's a package that needs to be installed into a web
server in order to communicate with the (ajp13) connector in Tomcat.
Though mod_jk is separate, the connector that talks to it is still
included with Tomcat.

Then you will want to use either the HTTP or HTTPS connector (or both).
You can ignore all the ajp13 stuff above... I was just mentioning it to
give you some perspective.

Absolutely. In fact, most of the voices on this list will tell you that
adding Apache httpd into the mix doesn't add any value. Perhaps it's
true for them, but Apache httpd definitely helps me with my production
deployments.

Hence the need to bind to a specific NIC ;)
