Tomcat: The Definitive Guide Question
Hello,
I am running Tomcat 5.5 and figured its about time to grab a book so I
can understand the product better. The one that received good reviews
appears to be the OReilly Definitive Guide. But it covers 4.0 Tomcat.
Is there a 5.0 Oreilly book coming out? Or does this current book
covering 4.0 work good enough with 5.0?
Thanks,

It's a book, "Professional Apache Tomcat 5", by Wrox.

Hello,
Can you provide a direct link(s) for that Tomcat online

Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

Yeap, I'm reading it too. As you said it does not cover 5.5.x, and,
for instance, talk about the jk2 connector, which you should not use
anymore, but I found it "easy" to read, quite complete, (and, well, I
love books :-)

I read "Professional Tomcat 5" (Wrox Press). Not bad, but I'd say for
"real" problems the mailing list is still the best source of
information. BTW the Tomcat online documentation is in fact far above
open source average and some books are mainly a beautified "copy" of it.
Professional Tomcat 5 also doesn't cover 5.5.x, just 5.0.x and I'm not
aware of any 5.5.x book.
I read the first Tomcat book after using several Tomcat 4.1 and 5.0
versions productive and was slightly disappointed that the above book
didn't really contain "secrets" you could know after studying the online
documentation. Probably just stick to the online help and this list.
Cheers,
Michael

Tomcat 4 and Tomcat 5 changed a bit in the way they handle and load
contexts. I wouldn't suggest getting a Tomcat 4 book for a Tomcat 5
server. SAMS has a Tomcat 5 Unleashed which is pretty good, but I don't
think it covers Tomcat 5.5.
