[PROPOSAL] Tomcat Webinar series
All,
I've been wondering if there would be any interest in a Tomcat Webinar
series. I'm thinking ~10 minutes of presentation followed by Q&A on
topics of interest to this community with the webinars taking place
every 1/2/4 weeks depending on interest. The webinars would also be
recorded and uploaded somewhere - probably youtube - and linked from
tomcat.apache.org.
My initial thoughts on possible topics are:
- Intro to Tomcat 9 (the first milestone release is in progress as
I type this)
- TLS virtual hosting with Tomcat 9
- Generating TLS keys for Tomcat
- HTTP/2 and Tomcat 9
- Connector selection: BIO vs NIO vs NIO2 vs APR
- Proxy protocol choice HTTP vs AJP
Other topics as requested by the users@ community.
Presenters would be one of the Tomcat committers. Obviously, I'm happy
to do these but I hope some of my fellow committers will agree to do
some presentations as well.
Thoughts, feedback, topic suggestions welcome.
Mark

Thanks Mark.
Sure that would be a very good knowledge sharing session.
Looking forward to the details.

I think this is a great idea if someone is willing to do the presentations and Q&A

Great list. I wonder though, how thoroughly these can be covered in ~10 min. I’d rather watch a longer webinar, than one that only scratches the surface.

You could always come to ApacheCon for full-length presentations. We'd
love to have you!

I think that is a great idea! Another topic that I would add is clustering and session replication, which I have unfortunately avoided because of the perceived complexity (and instead have relied on cookie sticky to keep a web browser “stuck” to a particular cluster node). I imagine that session replication might not be that complicated if I had a better understanding of whats all of the knobs and dials did, as it seems to be a lot to customize.
I would also be particularly interested in these:
> - Connector selection: BIO vs NIO vs NIO2 vs APR
> - Proxy protocol choice HTTP vs AJP
FWIW - I tend to be at least one major release behind, as I tend to focus more on stability and … just as important if not more … being able to rely on others who have found and solved any problems I might encounter … :-)
I’d be invested in what the rest of the community has to say … as I acknowledge I might be an outlier in this regard … but if not, if these sessions do move forward, I would encourage focus not just on the latest development release, but also on how to do the cool stuff with earlier releases as well.
Just my $0.02.

Tomcat 9 has a whole bunch of nice, shiny, new things, but most of what
Tomcat 9 and 8 can do, Tomcat 7 can do as well. This is also an
opportunity for the community to say "hey, we want that back-ported to
Tomcat [X]". Specifically, I'm going to push for back-porting of the new
TLS configuration features: TLS virtual-hosting (SNI) and PEM-based
keys+certs instead of always having to use a keystore.

I'd be interested, but we are still using 7.0.59 at work, so if you could
tailor at least some of the presentations towards this, in very newbie
format I'd definitely be on board.

Hi,
Very nice idea. one more suggestion for session:
Hardening Tomcat to make it more secure.

It depends upon whether recordings are made (which usually requires a
sponsor beforehand to pay for it) and then are prepared for online
distribution.
> If yes can you pls provide the link.
Feathercast posted many recordings from ApacheCon NA 2015 and prior
years. Have a look at feathercast.apache.org.
Here are the recordings for the Tomcat track for ApacheCon NA 2015:
http://feathercast.apache.org/?p=227
The feathercast site is a bit tough to navigate. I searched for "Tomcat"
and found the above, but wasn't able to find it otherwise.
Hope that helps,

Does it get recorded as well.

I think it's a great idea, but like someone else mentioned, I believe that 10 minutes may
be a bit short for any of the above themes.
Additional suggestions for sessions :
- how to set up Tomcat so as to make upgrades easier
- the relationship between Tomcat and the Java Servlet Specification
- for sysadmins : how to set up Tomcat logging
- tools and formulas for tuning Tomcat for specific load scenarios
- when and how to generate heap dumps, and how to (roughly) interpret them
