What does this book cover?
You will learn to solve the problems that arise with installation
and configuration, security, system testing, and more. This edition
also introduces you to Tomcat clustering for planning and deploying
installations in mission-critical production environments, and explores
the new support for Tomcat in popular IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA,
Eclipse, NetBeans/Sun Java Studio, and JBuilder.
You’ll discover how to manage class loaders and Connectors,
understand how to use IIS as a Web server front-end for Tomcat, examine
