Professional Apache Tomcat 5 shows system administrators and Java developers how to install, configure, and run the Tomcat server. The authors focus on solving real-world problems encountered in all phases of server administration, including the following:

* Installation
* Configuration
* Managing class loaders and connectors
* Security
* Shared hosting and clustering
* System testing

The book provides comprehensive coverage of all of the latest features of Tomcat Releases 4.1 and 5.0. (Tomcat 5.0, which is expected to release at the end of this year, supports JSP 2.0 and Servlets 2.4. Given that many companies are slow to upgrade, the authors also cover Release 4.1.).
