Apache Server (HTTP) is a Web server you can work cgi/perl in it.

Apache Jakarta Tomcat is Appserver you can work jsp, servlet. if possible by using plugins you can run your EJB also.

You can also run multiple instances of Tomcat up as a 'plug-in' to Apache.

My understanding is that Tomcat is a web container rather than a full-blown app server. It can be run standalone as a web server, i.e. it is not necessary to pair off Apache and Tomcat. See here for a discussion on the subject

What that thread is saying is that it didnt used to be a full blown web-server, it is now. The fact that it can be run standalone, serving both static and dynamic content makes it so.
