Pro Jakarta Tomcat 5

Dear Reader, Tomcat 5 is the reference implementation of the latest JSP 2.0 and Servlet 2.4 specifications, which means it's the first server to provide the new specification features. This also makes it an incredibly popular choice as a Web server; in fact, it bas reached the level of maturity of being adopted by companies and organizations from around the world. Pro Jakarta Tomcat 5 provides busy system administrators and others using Tomcat 5 with accurate, detailed information on how to work with Tomcat 5's enterprise-class features out of the box. You won't waste time revisiting JSP or servlet coding skills (though you will explore the theory of Java-based, multi-tiered systems with reference to Tomcat's place in them). Instead, you'll learn how to obtain, install, and administer Tomcat 5. You'll see how Tomcat 5's built-in features allow you to configure clustering, load balancing, and shared hosting to enhance its reliability and performance. You will learn about the new features of Tomcat 5.0.x and Tomcat 5.5, some of which are not documented. I've taken great care to test every option and setting to make sure the information on the newest versions of Tomcat is accurate. You'll also learn how to effectively integrate Tomcat 5 with other popular and necessary systems, including the Apache Web server (1.3 and 2.0), Microsoft's IIS Web server, MySQL databases, and LDAP and ODBC data sources. Pro Jakarta Tomcat 5 is full of invaluable information that will help you get up to speed as quickly as possible. Yours, Matthew Moodie
