Standalone Tomcat vs. Tomcat w/ Apache

Can someone please outline for me the tradeoffs involved between
deploying standalone Tomcat vs. Tomcat using apache as the http
server.

I am aware that apache is better for large amount of static pages and
ssl connections. What are the security implications? What are the
performance implications?

Can anyone point me to any good resources.

Thanks .....

If you are thinking about exposing this to the wild, wild
Internet, there are so many worms, scanners and other stuff out there
that you would want something that can handle it. Apache can. Tomcat
was not really developed for that purpose.
If this is for an intranet then Tomcat should be OK.
