Book Information and Code Download
Tomcat is an open source web server that processes JavaServer Pages and Java Servlets. It can run as a stand-alone server or be integrated with Apache. Like Apache, the core Tomcat program is relatively simple, but there are many enhancements that can be added to make it much more complex. You will learn how to integrate Tomcat with the Apache HTTP server (and the situations when you should and you shouldn't), how to set up database connectivity through JDBC, and how to ensure your web applications are secure. This book will provide you, the server administrator, with the necessary knowledge to install and configure Tomcat, as well as many of the most popular enhancements to the Tomcat package. It will help you plan the installation and possible growth options of your site.

Works
This is one of the rare books that pave you a way through the implementation of a major software product. The last one I read was Tannenbaums classic "Operating Systems". The Tomcat book is a lot easier to access: Tomcat is written in Java not C and the author takes a lot of trouble of making code iterations especially for pedagogical reasons. I do very much appreciate this. Both authors have a very clear style. They do not enervate and distract you with any vanity. You have ample time during the read for your own thoughts of how you can do better. Usually I found that my ideas were worse and I learned something more. Sure there are rather small questions of style. The code smells a little like C. There are very many if statements. Some routines are quite long... Still it is a pleasure to read the code.

Books
Tomcat is an application server built around the Java technology. It is a JSP and servlet container that can be attached to other popular web servers like Apache and IIS. It can act as a stand-alone web server as well. The JSP technology allows web developers to create dynamic web pages using XML-type tags or embedded Java. Servlets are components written in Java that can be invoked by servers. This title provides a discussion about Tomcat, its installation, configuration, use, and methods for securing it. It discusses issues like load balancing, shared hosting, load testing, and a lot more. In addition, readers will find a coverage on database connectivity using Tomcat.
- Apache
Tomcat
Apache Tomcat (formerly under the Apache Jakarta Project; Tomcat is now a top level project) is a web container developed at the Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat implements the servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, providing an environment for Java code to run in cooperation with a web server. It adds tools for configuration and management but can also be configured by editing configuration files that are normally XML-formatted. Because Tomcat includes its own HTTP server internally, it is also considered a standalone web server. Tomcat started off as a servlet specification implementation by James Duncan Davidson, a software architect at Sun. He later helped make the project open source and played a key role in its donation by Sun to the Apache Software Foundation.
- Resources
for Java - Server Side Developers
Pro Jakarta Tomcat 5:- This book is ideal for Tomcat administrators and folks who want to configure Tomcat. Author Matthew Moodie describes configuration files, as well as administration features like security, auto-deployment, remote deployment, and data sources. Moodie wastes no time on Java or JSP introductions, and discusses JSP and Java code minimally. He gets right to the point and teaches you to use Tomcat. (This book exclusively covers Tomcat 5.5.x as well as Tomcat 5.x, while other books still linger on version 4.) And while other Tomcat books are collaborative efforts, written by multiple authors, this book sails smoothly with Moodie?s narration alone.
- The
Apache Tomcat Training
The Apache Tomcat server and related technologies give Java developers a rich set of tools to quickly build more sophisticated Web applications. Tomcat version 5 supports the latest JSP and Servlet specifications, JSP 2.0, and Servlets 2.4. This tutorial walks you through the installation of a Java virtual machine and Tomcat on Windows and Linux systems, describes the configuration of Tomcat server components by manually editing the XML configuration files and by using the web-based GUI, and explains how web applications are deployed within Tomcat. The lessons also cover JMX support, clustering, and embedding Tomcat into applications. You will learn to solve the problems that arise with installation and configuration, security, system testing, and more. This tutorial also introduces you to Tomcat clustering for planning and deploying installations in mission-critical production environments, and explores the new support for Tomcat in popular IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, NetBeans/Sun Java Studio, and JBuilder.
- A
Beginner's Tutorial
"Java 5 : A Beginner's Tutorial" (656 pages, $39.95, ISBN 0-9752128-5-0, by Budi Kurniawan) Designed to teach programmers the latest version of Java (also known as Tiger), this tutorial discusses the most useful Java libraries?those that any Java programmer is required to know and are frequently asked about in job interviews. In addition to covering all of the new features in version 5, this book also provides extensive coverage of object-oriented programming, generics and annotations, database access with JDBC, Java networking, applets, Java threads, user interface with Swing, and Java deployment, setup, and installation. A bonus discussion of Java Web development, using servlets and JSP, is also included.
- A
Guide to Developing your Own Java Servlet Container (From Tomcat Works)
Explaining the internal workings of Tomcat, this guide is for advanced developers interested in writing their own Tomcat modules or in understanding more than just servlet/JSP programming. Besides simply covering the configuration or servlet development with Tomcat, software architects will find information on how a large application can be successfully developed. Developers are also shown how to create Java web servers, how Tomcat runs a servlet that implements the SingleThreadModel interface, how Tomcat manages sessions, and how to extend the session manager in a distributed environment. In addition, the four types of containers-engine, host, context, and wrapper-are covered and JMX, Apache's Commons Modeler, and Tomcat JMX manageable resources are described.
- Configuration
and Using Apache Tomcat
Using Tomcat as a deployment server or integrating Tomcat as a plugin within the regular Apache server or a commercial Web server is more complicated than what is described in this tutorial. Although such integration is valuable for a deployment scenario (see http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/), my goal here is to show how to use Tomcat as a development server on your desktop. Regardless of what deployment server you use, you'll want a standalone server on your desktop to use for development. The information here is adapted from the introductory setup and configuration chapter of Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, 2nd Edition, Volume 1 from Sun Microsystems Press and Prentice Hall. For the book table of contents, index, source code, etc., please see http://volume1.coreservlets.com/. For information on training courses (either at public venues or on-site at your company) taught by the author of the book and this Apache Tomcat tutorial, please see this servlet, JSP, Struts, JSF, and Java training courses page.

Works and Book
A couple years ago I tried my hand at self publishing books. Specifically, I created my own publishing company, Titan-Books Inc., and published three companion workbooks to my O'Reilly EJB book. The authors and editor did a wonderful job and the books turned out great. However, I quickly discovered that (a) it was lot of work running even a small publishing company and (b) I wasn't making much money at it. To make a long story short, I sold the rights to the books to O'Reilly, lost some money, but learned a lot about myself and the publishing industry. I hope the book continues to be as good as the first couple of chapters. If it is, I'll probably become its biggest booster. In my opinion, knowing how the software you use works under the covers is far more important than anything else you can learn. Patterns and APIs are fine, but nothing beats knowing how things really work. The best in the business have this type knowledge, so if you want to be the best at Servlet development, than this book is for you.

- List
of Books
The following is a list of books related to topics covered in the Apache Overview Howto. This is by no means an extensive list, but rather a hand-picked selection of books that I have read and can specifically recommend. I link them to Amazon, so if you buy a book following a link in the website, the price for you will be the same but I get some small percentage of the sale. The first one I have to recommend is my book ;) Teach Yourself Apache 2 in 24 hours. It covers a wide range of Apache topics, including PHP, Tomcat, SSL, MPMs and mod_perl. Apache Server 2.0: The Complete Reference: This book is written by Ryan Bloom, one of the core Apache developers. It covers a great number of topics, addressing both system administrators and developers. The narrative style can be quite confusing at times, specially for beginers, but it provides valuable information on Apache 2.0 internals. This is particularly useful for module programmers wishing to extend the server, as it provides examples of how to implement filtering or multiprocessing modules for example.

Kick Start
Tomcat Kick Start covers Tomcat 4.0.3 and 4.1, the latest versions developed for the current JSP and Servlet specifications. The book starts with the essentials of JSP and Servlets, then explains how to install and administer the Tomcat server. Further chapters discuss how Tomcat enhances application development with tag libraries, error logging, filters and valves, and more. It includes the use of the popular Apache Struts framework and Apache Axis XML processor. Later chapters explain advanced concepts such as Tomcat security and integrating Tomcat into larger J2EE applications.
- Jakarta
Tomcat
Tomcat functions as a servlet container developed under the Jakarta Project at the Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat implements the servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems. It's considered to be a web server. The Tomcat servlet engine often appears in combination with an Apache webserver. Tomcat can also function as an independent web server in itself: it operates as such in development environments and others with minimal requirements for speed and transaction handling.

Book
This is one of the first set of books from Wrox Press after its acquisition by John Wiley & Sons, and this time around it?s a better quality of books. I?m not saying Wrox? books were all bad (I am a long time Wrox author myself!), but that Wrox?s drive to bring books to market as soon as possible sometimes lead to not so good titles, and uneven writing across chapters. The multiple authors (sometimes 10+ to a book) didn?t help matters either. Wiley does things the traditional way- smaller teams when there are multiple author books, better cohesion between authors, a uniform writing style; the works.

5 Unleashed
I have been reading Tomcat 5 Unleashed since I purchased it a couple of weeks ago. It is a great book and I am finally starting to learn how to use Tomcat properly. I have always been bothered by the default Tomcat configuration and how it holds deployed applications in the installation directory. Fortunately this book explains how to "productionalize" the Tomcat installation. (the book actually uses that word over and over) The book also provides some examples are provided for Tomcat 4 for those who are not prepared to upgrade just yet.

Pole
This book gives a speedstart in getting high level architecture of Tomcat 5. Its discussion, even though not comprehensive, can make you can tell the difference between a valve, a service, an instance, and a server. However, this book fails to provide a tested and consistent example on setting up DBCP (Apache Database Connection Pooling). Seems the information was extracted only from Apache DBCP website and reworded (such as replacing jndi/myoracle to jndi/wroxTC5) WITHOUT giving actual tested examples. This book contains some good information. However, it's clear that the publisher merely solicited a bunch of articles and sort of threw them together without much in the way of an overarching design. The result is that you can find answers to many common Tomcat questions in this book, but others will go unanswered.

It's also the official reference implementation for Sun's JSP and Servlet technologies. As the official implementation, millions of Java developers learning JSP need instruction and practical advice about Tomcat. However, there are currently few books and limited online resources to explain the nuances of JSP development using Tomcat.
- Using
SOAP With Tomcat
The Apache SOAP Project is an open source Java implementation of the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) v1.1. SOAP is a wire protocol that leverages HTTP or SMTP as its transport layer and XML as its data layer, to execute remote methods, known as SOAP services. The Apache implementation of SOAP provides two methods for invoking SOAP services: a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) model and a message-based model. The RPC method, which is the focus of this article, is a synchronous technique using a client-server model to execute remote SOAP services. The message-based model uses SMTP to transport SOAP documents to and from the appropriate SOAP server. While this method is interesting, it is out of the scope of this article.
