Pro Apache Tomcat 5/5.5 is ideal for Tomcat administrators and folks who want to configure Tomcat. Author Matthew Moodie describes configuration files, as well as administration features like security, auto-deployment, remote deployment, and datasources.

Moodie wastes no time on Java or JSP introductions, and discusses JSP and Java code minimally. He gets right to the point and teaches you to use Tomcat. (This book exclusively covers Tomcat 5.5.x as well as Tomcat 5.x, while other books still linger on version 4.) And while other Tomcat books are collaborative efforts, written by multiple authors, this book sails smoothly with Moodie's narration alone.
