I think the question is somewhat strangely asked. Technically speaking there
is no "RMI Server". That is typically something you create. Secondly, Apache
Webserver is a native application and unless mod_java is installed, does not
run Java applications.
Tomcat is among other things a servlet container, so you can stick your RMI
stuff into a servlet and deploy it via a WAR, if the WebApp has enough
permissions to do network operations and much more. The RMI Registry can be
run inside the same servlet by checking and creating it thru the
LocateRegistry class.
