Pro Apache Tomcat 6

Every Java-based Web application developed needs to be deployed, Period. 60-80% of Java developers require only simple Java Web applications (JSP/Servlets). For these advanced, specialized users, the optimal deployment tool for the majority of these simple Java-based Web applications is the open source Tomcat Web application server, which has graduated from Jakarta to become a topline Apache project, Apache Tomcat. Tomcat is NOT like the more complex J2EE/Java EE Web app server like BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, JBoss, Apache Geronimo, and others.

Tomcat holds a near-monopoly market share of 85+% in the simple Java Web app server space, as professional open source companies and organizations are adopting it en mass as part of other product suites and solutions, including JBoss, HP, Novell, IBM, and others.

Pro Apache Tomcat 6 fills an important need in the very large, very under-served Tomcat tech market. Unlike beginner manuals, this book wastes no time on Java or JSP introductions, and discusses JSP and Java code minimally. Instead, it gets right to the point and teaches you to use the newest Tomcat, version 6.
