Running tomcat using sudo will STILL run the process as root. In fact every solution mentioned runs it as root. The only difference is that you didn't interactively login as root. (another words the method to "get" root is different but the effect is the same)

sudo
su
or even a bundle/startup script all mean the service runs as root.

Apache HTTPD starts as root to bind to port 80 and then drops privileges provided you tell it to run as another user in the config file. The problem is that there isn't a way to do that in Java code that i'm aware of.

Essentially things like modjk just act as a proxy on port 80 for certain types of requests that are mapped to it. Basically its the same diff as port forwarding.
