Documentation for Tomcat 4.0

[Steven Elliott <el...@mail.cibertribe.pt>]

I have gone over the server.xml.
I have gone over the web.xml.
I have gone over the user.xml.

I have been through both the Developer and Developing Applications With
Tomcat documentation.

Unless I've missed some documentation somewhere I've gone over all of it at
least once if not at least twice.  Nowhere did I come across the <Alias />
XML tag for the server.xml but I did find it mentioned in the email archives
as I was searching for Virtual Host information.

Please if someone could point me in the direction of where I might find the
documentation for the server, user and web xml files (Tomcat v.4) I would
really, really appreciate it.

TIA

The server.xml docs are not 100% complete yet, but this one is in fact
mentioned.  Start up Tomcat, and browse to:

  http://localhost:8080/docs/config/index.html

and select the "Host" element in the navigation menu.  Down near the
bottom (in the "Special Features" section), you will find documentation on
"Host Name Aliases", which covers the nested <Alias> element.

(From the Tomcat default home page, follow the "General Tomcat User
Documentation" link, followed by "Server Configuration").

For server.xml stuff, see the link above.  For web.xml, that is defined in
the Servlet Specification, which you can download from:

  http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html

Tomcat 4 conforms to the most recent Proposed Final Draft of the Servlet
2.3 and JSP 1.2 specifications.
