looking for Tomcat tutorial(s)

[Wolfgang]

I'm looking for a really good Tomcat tutorial, ideally with empahsis
on application structure (web.xml), but also explanation of server.xml
-- graphs and xml code samples would be helpful.

I've seen some good graphs in
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/csg/faqs/servlets/
but that tutorial is not yet complete.

Would you have any links for good Tomcat tutorials?

Thanks,

Wolfgang,

As for web.xml; do read the servlet specification (from Sun). It is not
a tutorial, but short enough that you can read it through. That'll
explain everything there is to web.xml.

For server.xml, I hope you've already read the actual Tomcat
documentation? Unfortunately there's room for improvement, but
it's not hopeless (and yes, I know, I could get improvements
done by sending them - so in that sense this is just idle whining).

After reading those, it's time to apply your knowledge.

I guess, you´re looking for JSP/servlet tutorials since Tomcat is just the
server that supports with JSP/servlets. I think this is a good tutorial that
also covers Tomcat configuration at a glance:

Punch in "jsp tutorial" at Google and you´ll find a bunch of other tutorials
on that topic

This book is very good, "Tomcat The Definitive Guide", O'Reilly and Associates,
June 2003, ISBN 0-596-00318-8.

Chapter 3 covers Servlet and JSP application layouts in Tomcat.
Chapter 7 covers the web.xml and server.xml in depth.
Other chapters discuss how to integrate tomcat and the apache web server
with mod_jk. How to setup various types of Realms for user authentication,
I used this to help setup a JDBCRealm in an application I'm working on. It
lets me put userids and passwords in a postgresql database.

You can look for the book at www.ora.com and get the Table of contents.
I bought the book and find it very useful as I am using Apache/Tomcat in
an application I'm currently developing.

regards
