Updated Docs for Tomcat 4
I've just posted an update on the documentation that will be included in
the Tomcat 4.0 final release. This is available online at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc-exp/
Highlights of the recent additions to the documentation include:
* Server Configuration Reference is nearly complete (only a few
more missing pages).
* Class Loader HOW-TO explains how the class loaders in Tomcat 4
are implemented, and where you should put your classes to make
them available to web applications.
* Manager HOW-TO documents the use of the Manager web application
for dynamically deploying and undeploying web applications
without restarting Tomcat.
* Realm HOW-TO document for the three standard Realm implementations
(JDBCRealm, JNDIRealm (!), and MemoryRealm).
Things still on the TODO list:
* Configuration instructions for populating the JNDI context that
is provided to web applications (such as connection pools).
* Configuration of the built-in servlets provided with Tomcat 4
that are configured from $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml.
* Configuration of the mod_webapp connector (in the same style as
the rest of the Tomcat 4 docs).
* Other things that people tell us are still missing -- but it's
more likely to get done if you offer actual documents instead
of just suggestions :-)

Erg...ack...grr! I looked at the latest docs up there...so close! I really
want to know how to make connection pools!
Anyway, keep it up. It's coming together.
Thanks!
