Look for web application container.  There are a few popular ones. I'm 
personally familiar with Resin.

Also, it might be worth learning about Spring (to manage your 
application) and Hibernate (for the database).

Apache is organization that creates products. I'm assuming you're 
talking about Apache's httpd, which does not have built-in Java 
capabilities.  You can use Resin in conjunction with Apache httpd by 
using proxy-pass rewrite rules.  Resin can run on its own as a 
web-server too.

Hope this helps,
Daniel.
