PROPOSAL: Separate tomcat-apache-howto.html (was Re: User's Guide)
I haven't heard back from the fellow who started revising the user
guide, but when I do, I'd like to take the liberty of separating it
into two separate documents:
tomcat-ug.html
information on tomcat installation and standalone use
tomcat-apache-howto.html
information on installing Tomcat inside Apache
This would fit in with the other howtos (tomcat-iis-howto.html and
tomcat-netscape-howto.html) and make for a cleaner documentation
structure.
Also, as a minor note, it would change the name from tomcat_ug.html to
tomcat-ug.html to make it more consistent.
I'll also give it a onceover and walk through it as I install
Apache+Tomcat on two new servers. That should help resolve some of
the complaints about how it's out of date.
Please reply with your +1s (-1s not required :-))
Now, wasn't there a thread about a "docs" directory? I just synced,
after a month on the road, and I still see only src/doc and
src/webpages/docs. Or was that going to be in the dist build only?

I would add one more document
tomcat-security.html
Information on how to configure and use tomcat securely.
This would cover things such as don't run tomcat as root
and how to configure tomcat to use the java SecurityManager.
The existing tomcat-security.txt could be used as a
starting point.

Thoughts on Apache-style starting point, a la http://www.apache.org/docs/ ?
e.g. http://fuzz.cx/~rslifka/tc/ ...which may/not necessitate breaking it up
into even smaller chunks still.
One other one: Incorporate JDBCRealm.howto into the User's Guide.
- Part of server.xml, Tomcat configuration.

Sorry, I never received an email from you. You mentioned sending comments
privately, but then I never got any =) Might want to double-check the email
addy:
rslifka@sfu.ca
I don't trust @Home's mail service.

I'm digging that in a big way. I just figured Gal put it in there as
special treatment as part of the Jakarta/Apache project ;)
