There are a number of advantages to using Apache httpd + mod_jk instead
of just Tomcat standalone. Here are a few I can think of:

1. mod_jk provides load-balancing across multiple Tomcat instances
2. mod_jk allows you to have a single web server instance and
   multiple (non-clustered) Tomcat instances serving different apps
   or even running as different users, etc.
3. Apache httpd includes a /lot/ of modules for authentication, data
   massaging, etc. that can be used on top of servlet code (think
   mod_rewrite)

There are very few tasks for which Apache httpd is /required/. Maybe if
you tell us what you'd like to do, we can help you configure it in
Tomcat. Just remember that Tomcat was written to deploy applications,
not to serve files (though it does that just fine, too).

I'm having trouble understanding what you're asking: you want to have
several virtual directories? You can do that with just Tomcat... it just
takes a bit of work to do.
