Apache TomCat as web server and container

Question

I have Apache tomcat 7 where I build my web application and I also have Apache Web Server where my web site exist wrote on Css and HTML. I want to inject my web app on web site. How can I make my Tomcat as web server and container and transfer web site from Apache WebServer to Tomcat. ???

I know tomcat also can work on 80 port. Just I use to read documentation how to integrate Apache WebServer with Tomcat using mod_jk ajp connectors and etc to do, seems like it doesn't work.

If you want to use Tomcat as your web server (to serve your .html and .css files and probably images), then you can just get rid of the Apache Web Server; you no longer need it, according to your question. Then, after putting all your html/css/etc. under webapps/[app-root]/, make sure that all references to port 8080 in Tomcat's conf/server.xml are changed to port 80, reboot Tomcat, and you'll be good to go.
