whats the difference between Apache and Tomcat?

The main difference Apache cant process the java application requests on its own, so it needs the application server on the back-end to process the java application requests, so application server can be TOMCAT, WLS, WAS , JBOSS, GlassFish. So Apache will acts as bridge for java app requests.
Apache has got many other features/advantages.

Apache- it's nothing but web server.. it works only on static contents.
Tomcat - its a servlet container .. some times its acts as app server.
