Apache Jakarta-Tomcat, the official reference implementation for the Java servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies, has long been heralded as an excellent platform for the development and deployment of powerful Web applications. The recently released version 4.0 offers not only numerous enhancements in flexibility and stability, but also an array of new features that are certain to expand upon the Tomcat developers' already wealthy toolset.

In this namesake title, best-selling author James Goodwill provides readers with a thorough introduction to Jakarta-Tomcat, offering instruction on topics ranging from the basic installation and configuration process and Web application deployment to advanced concepts of integration with other popular Apache Foundation projects such as the Apache Web server, Struts, Log4J, and the Apache XML SOAP Project.

In addition to an already comprehensive introduction to core Tomcat functionality, readers also benefit from a valuable primer of what is offered in version 4.0, as Goodwill takes care to thoroughly discuss new features such as valves, security realms, persistent sessions, and the Tomcat Manager Application. In summary, Apache Jakarta-Tomcat offers both novice and advanced Jakarta-Tomcat users a practical and comprehensive guide to this powerful software.

It's hard to imagine that someone would write a book on a J2EE server and provide ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION on how to configue a JDBC datasource. Although it does tell you how to use mySQL for Tomcat user info instead of using the default xml file. Thanks for that completely useless piece of information.

It provides no information on what parts of JSP/Servlet dev. are specific to Tomcat and which are part of the standard. I could write several pages citing hundereds of other reasons why this book ..., but I think I have wasted enough of my time. Don't trust any reviews on here. If someone has given this book more stars than the minimum allowed they are probaly working for the publisher. I only wish amazon.com had negative ratings so I could give this product an accurate review.

If you are looking to get into JSP/Servlets avoid this text. Pick up the Sun "core" book and read the documentation for Tomcat. And, if you happen to see the author of this book, kick him square in the nuts. Several hundred times.
