Tomcat/Apache 6
The following documentation is a guide on how to install, configure and administer the Tomcat/Apache 6 server. You can also obtain more information regarding some of the topics that will be discussed JSP and Servlets, I also have discussed Java.
I have an introduction JBoss web page which is a full Java EE application server, this is the next step to Apache/Tomcat so to speak.
The site has been comprised of reading the following books and real world experience, if you are new to Apache/Tomcat I highly recommend that you should purchase this books as it contains far more information than this web site contains and of course the Official Apache/Tomcat web site contains all the documentation you will ever need.
Please feel free to email me any constructive criticism you have with the site as any additional knowledge or mistakes that I have made would be most welcomed.
