Synopses & Reviews
Every Java-based Web application developed needs to be deployed. Period. The majority of Java-based Web applications are or need to be simple. 60-80% of Java developers only need simple Java Web apps (JSP/Servlets), the largest Java tech market and opportunity. The tool to deploy the majority of these simple Java-based Web applications is the open source Apache Tomcat Web application server.
Tomcat holds a near market share monopoly in the simple Java Web app server space with approximate 85%+ marketshare, followed by Jetty with less than 10% and maybe another or two who hold the remaining market share (Tomcat is NOT like the more complex J2EE/Java EE Web app server like BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, JBoss, Apache Geronimo, etc.).
Pro Apache Tomcat 6 is looking to be first book (if not second to only one other) to hit very large Tomcat tech market where Tomcat book sales of late reflect the anticipation for Tomcat 6 and the fact that nearly all the Tomcat books in market are very dated based on Tomcat 4.x or 5.x. Also, this book wastes no time on Java or JSP introductions, and discusses JSP and Java code minimally, unlike competitorsa (TM) books. Instead, it gets right to the point and teaches you to use the newest Tomcat, version 6.
Other than the pending news on Tomcat 6, Tomcat has also graduated from Jakarta to become a topline Apache project, Apache Tomcat. Other Tomcat news is that professional open source companies and organizations are continuing adoption of Apache Tomcat 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.

Synopsis
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.
