Product Description
Pro Apache Tomcat 6 is ideal for Tomcat administrators and others who want to configure Tomcat. It covers only Tomcat 6 and doesn't get bogged down trying to overexplain tasks from each older version of the server. The book looks at the entire installation, including file system, database, and web server, and provides you with security and performance tips.
Author Matthew Moodie describes configuration files, as well as administration features like security, auto-deployment, remote deployment, and data sources. He gets right to the point and teaches you to use Tomcat without wasting time on Java or JSP introductions or excess discussion of JSP and Java code.

Reader ReviewsI have read this book cover to cover. It contains plenty of useful technical info, I learned a lot, and so I give it 3 stars. Boy, was it tedious reading though! The grammar is broken in many places. The style is rather stiff and tiresome. I do not blame the author though, and I wish the editors and reviewers did better job prior to bringing this work to the public. Yeah, even hackers and software geeks appreciate good writing! In fact, it is quite evident that Chapter 14 "Testing Tomcat's Performance" was written by a different writer than the rest of the book. A breath of fresh air! This chapter reads well, it flows, no grammar problems, no stiff/awkward/stilted style. Nice job on this one. Anyway, the author worked hard. Writing is a tough job, and it is not easy to organize, present and teach technical subjects, I know. But it seems to me that the quality control at Apress is sorely lacking. They might be rushing things to production a little too fast, so it seems. Hope they improve though!
