Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Pro Apache Tomcat 6 is ideal for Tomcat administrators and others who want to configure Tomcat. It covers only Tomcat 6 and doesn't get bogged down trying to overexplain tasks from each older version of the server. The book examines the entire installation, including file system, database, and web server, and provides you with security and performance tips.

Author Matthew Moodie describes configuration files, as well as administration features like security, auto-deployment, remote deployment, and data sources. He gets right to the point and teaches you to use Tomcat without wasting time on Java or JSP introductions or excess discussion of JSP and Java code.

About the Author
Matthew Moodie was a technical and developmental editor for two and a half years, and recently served as Editor for Beginning JSP 2: From Novice to Professional and Foundations of JSP Design Patterns, both published by Apress.

Kunal Mittal is a consultant specializing in Java technology, the J2EE platform, Web services, and SOA technologies. He has co-authored and contributed to several books on these topics. Kunal is currently working on a BEA Portal project for Sony Pictures Entertainment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good technical info, poor English (grammar, style)..., August 1, 2007

By	Telesphorus (Ann Arbor, MI USA) - See all my reviews

I have read this book cover to cover. It contains plenty of useful technical info, I learned a lot, and so I give it 3 stars. Boy, was it tedious reading though! The grammar is broken in many places. The style is rather stiff and tiresome. I do not blame the author though, and I wish the editors and reviewers did better job prior to bringing this work to the public. Yeah, even hackers and software geeks appreciate good writing! In fact, it is quite evident that Chapter 14 "Testing Tomcat's Performance" was written by a different writer than the rest of the book. A breath of fresh air! This chapter reads well, it flows, no grammar problems, no stiff/awkward/stilted style. Nice job on this one. Anyway, the author worked hard. Writing is a tough job, and it is not easy to organize, present and teach technical subjects, I know. But it seems to me that the quality control at Apress is sorely lacking. They might be rushing things to production a little too fast, so it seems. Hope they improve though!

2.0 out of 5 stars good technical info?!?, December 22, 2007

By	R. Lopez (NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'd wish there would be a way to measurably gauge how far, "for better or worse", books have strayed away from the carelessly lousy online documentation from a purely linguistic point of view.
~
This book has almost no actual examples of anything real in its 300 pages. It just the online docs with some Windows specific stuff thrown in, some of it relatively interesting/esoteric like using IIS front ending TC and some other stuff, which to me does not merit space in a TC book, e.g., Securing file system on a OS level, in which the author states (page 219) "Windows gives you much more flexibility when assigning permissions than Unix does" I am still wondering when, if ever, Windows will be able to achieve the level of security that hardened gentoo sports right from a live CD
~
Matthew Moodie's book, in addition to the very Windows-centric mindset, also contains quite a bit of bluff and insipid content, sections that appear to have no meat whatsoever like "Transactions and Distributed Transactions Support". I wonder why didn't they just leave this section altogether. It also has many little mistakes that at some point I simply started underlining with my comments next to them:
~
page 4: "Tomcat is always the first server to provide the new features of the spex when it is finished" Actually not true, Jetty has been better at that that TC itself
~
page 59: author refers to the "commons" branch in TC directory structure while talking about logging listing 4-7 (TC 6 did away with it)
~
page 161: "Using Tomcat's connectors"/"The Workers" it should be "CATALINA_BASE1", "CATALINA_BASE2", ...
~
Book also seems to be talking more about TC 5.5 than the new features of TC 6.0
~

1.0 out of 5 stars useles technical info, January 14, 2008

By	L. Azuaje Mollegas - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read this book from cover to cover because I am a tomcat administrator and I need to update from version 5 upto 6. What I got after reading the book is very little.

Most of the technical explanations are very shallow, some address -badly- esoteric/complex issues. The contents within each chapter do not mix well, there is no logic flow when reading the book from chapter to chapter.

The book lacks working examples, the chapter 14 is completely useless, how can you test the tomcat if you can not set up it properly ?

The appendix on MySql is unnecesary, that's not the main bulk of the work for Tomcat administrators.

The book seems to be a rush rewriting from a previous book based on Tomcat 5.5.

I will give a try to: The Professional Apache Tomcat 6 by Vivek Chopra, Sing Li, Jeff Genender. I hope this time I won't miss the point.
