Generally I place static files as well as rewriting, AJP, and other customization filters at the Apache layer, pass through necessary URLs over to Tomcat and Servlet processing.

If you are completely contained in the .war and don't have a need for the features of a web server, Tomcat is perfectly happy serving HTTP directly.
