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.

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.
