Professional Apache Tomcat 6

Developers who build Java web applications use Apache Tomcat to confirm that their code behaves as the servlet and JSP standards from Sun require, so this guide centers on that server. Its Release 6 edition brings the latest JSP 2.1 and Servlets 2.5 specifications into focus, and more than 40 percent of its content is new or revised. The book walks through the major server administration and management changes introduced in this release.

Beyond administration, the book examines the utilities built into Tomcat that help programmers work more efficiently. It also explains how other Apache open source projects for servlets and JSP are designed to operate alongside Tomcat.

The author addresses practical problems that surface at every stage of running a server, including class loader and connector management, security, shared hosting, clustering, and system testing.
