Product Description
Jakarta Tomcat is not only a commonly used open source servlet engine, it's become the de factor standard by which other servlet engines are measured. Powerful and flexible, it can be used as a standalone web server or in conjunction with another server, like Apache or IIS, to run servlets or JSPs. But mastery of Tomcat is not easy: because it's as complex as it is complete. This guide answers vexing questions that users, administrators, and developers alike have been asking. This concise guide provides much needed information to help harness Tomcat's power and wealth of features. "Tomcat: The Definitive Guide" offers something for everyone who uses Tomcat. System and network administrators will find detailed instructions on installation, configuration, and maintenance. For users, it supplies insightful information on how to deploy Tomcat. And seasoned enterprise Java developers will have a complete reference to setting up, running, and using this powerful software. The book begins with an introduction to the Tomcat server and includes an overview of the three types of server configurations: stand-alone, in-process, and out-of-process. The authors show how directories are laid out, cover the initial setup, and describe how to set the environment variables and modify the configuration files, concluding with common errors, problems, and solutions. In subsequent chapters, they cover: the server.xml configuration file Java Security manager Authentication schemes and Tomcat users The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Tomcat JDBC Realms Installing servletsand Java Server Pages Integrating Tomcat with Apache, IIS, and other servers Advanced Tomcat configuration and more. "Tomcat: The Definitive Guide" covers all major platforms, including Windows, Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X, contains details on Tomcat configuration files, and has a quick-start guide to get developers up and running with Java servlets and JavaServer Pages. If you've struggled with this powerful yet demanding technology in the past, this book should provide the answers you need. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   9 of 11 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Gets you started, 7 Feb 2004 By  S J. West "Chicken sexer" (Gerrards Cross, Bucks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews This review is from: Tomcat: The Definitive Guide (Paperback) Nitpick: Many examples are literally the content of files as shipped from rpm.so getting the admin application going required a bit of role name guesswork or a trawl through the the online docs. Gives you the options on the configuring,connecting to db's/apache etc. Not really a tutorial, more of an ideas cookbook. Something I shall refer to as I demand more from Tomcat. It is nice to have a concise text in one place on the subject. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Useful as a reference book but with enough explanation to get you going if you're not familiar with the topic. Light years better than the online documentation but, given that the online documentation is often unreadable, that's not a particularly demanding benchmark. A useful and reliable guide.
