Apache Jakarta-Tomcat

Finally someone describes Tomcat beyond the online docs. I have noticed that some argue that this doesn't cover anything past the online docs, but I have never seen anything on Embedding Tomcat into Java application, SOAP integration, Log4J integration, or even Struts integration in the online docs.I also got a lot out of the server.xml appendix.I just don't understand the "just like the online doc comments."Great book.

I picked this text up three days ago and I am very pleased with everything I have read. It really takes the angle of administering the Tomcat server with the developer in mind.Some of the areas that I found most useful included coverage of Servlet Filters and Tomcat Valves, a chapter on embedded Tomcat applications, and a great Appendix covering the server.xml file.I recommend this book for any developer, or administrator, looking for the fast track to using Tomcat.

Finally a text that goes beyond the high school like documentation packaged with Tomcat. I found everything I needed. I especially found value in the Chapters on deploying other Jakarta technologies into the Tomcat container.Great text.

[...] First of all, there is only one chapter dealing with Servlets and JSP's, which is very helpful in describing deployment. Second, this is the first and only book dealing with Tomcat to date, so it probably won't contain every answer you are looking for. But compared to the documentation you get with Jakarta, this book is a volume of encyclopedias!

(...) this is by far the best book on Jakarta-Tomcat. I learned more in the few hours spent reading this book, then I did in the days(weeks?) spent reading existing documentation and newsgroups. The book covers all of the newest features, and provides practical examples. All in all, a very useful resource.
