Re: Best Tomcat Book, Recommendations???
Well, everyone else is right. assuming that you have some experience with http servers in general, you dont need a big fat manual for tomcat. but in case, you are new to web techs altogether, probably Oreilly Tomcat will give you a helping hand good luck - Original Message - From: John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 5:24 AM Subject: Re: Best Tomcat Book, Recommendations???

Re: Best Tomcat Book, Recommendations??? PART 2
I don't buy many books any more, but AFAIK the Wrox book is the only Tomcat book targeted towards setup and administration. I know for a fact there are at least two books due out before the end of the year that should supersede the Wrox book. The Wrox book was published in mid-2002, and there's been a lot of activity on Tomcat since. Don't judge a book by its cover. ;) John Tony LaPaso wrote: First, as I said, my comment about the Wrox books was a generalization. There's nothing illogical about making generalizations.

Re: Best Tomcat Book, Recommendations??? PART 2
Hi, I don't usually push books... people have different tastes. But I like the Wrox book. It's an administrators book. Basically how Tomcat is designed from an architecture standpoint (containers, contexts, valves, realms, what the directories are for, etc) and how to configure it (connectors, JDBC, JNDI, etc). It leaves out java and it assumes you know xml. Of course it's getting more and more out of date as we speak. I think Tomcat 6 will be out before a decent Tomcat 5 book hits the shelves. -e On Mon, 28 Jul 2003, Tony LaPaso wrote: Sorry, but I forgot to mention: I'm really only interested in Tomcat specifically, not how to program servlets/JSPs.
