If you use mod_jk (the ajp13 protocol) to get apache and tomcat to talk to
each other you need the port open, but it should only be listening on
localhost.

Port 8009 is the default port, you can change that in tomcat's server.xml
and in mod_jk's workers.properties file.

If you only access Tomcat through it's HTTP service (usually on 8080 or 8180
by default) you won't need mod_jk or port 8009 open.
