After a useful chapter 1 "Quickstart", the text plunges quickly into mind-boggling complexity, including lengthy initial "Security basics", philosophic "Overview of JEE application development", "Web application principles", "Web application design", and a do-it-my-way "Setting up a development environment" chapters. Do we have to have Ant and MySQL installation at the start? Finally, chapters 9 and 10 are helpful for those who either persevered or skipped ahead.
Publishers should require better writing skills from their authors and "cut-the-crap".

There are quite a few Tomcat books. This is, easily, the best I found so far. Since Tomcat is the servlet container of choice at our shop, I ordered every book I could find on Tomcat.
Basically, Lajos Moczar writes with a lot of passion about best practices. And, they happen to be opinions that I mostly agree with and enforce!

This is a great introduction - very clear, very easy to read! My goal was to configure already installed tomcat for a new domain in a very short period of time. This is the second book I tried to read on Tomcat - and in contrast with the first one (I spent 3 hours on one chapter because it just did not sink in), this is very easy to udnerstand for a beginner.
This book does not only go into how to do something, it also explains "why," so you can begin to understand the basic principles of Tomcat set up and quickly catch on.

writer uses very close reader relationship approach and book reading flows like butter,
it creates a nice context alongside to make learning of tomcat less dry and more realistic
good job

I took a while to study the books about the Tomcat server and finally settled on this one. When I got into it, it was better than I thought it would be. If you want to learn how to work with Tomcat 5 (there's also good information on Tomcat 4), this is the one. It takes a pragmatic and practical approach and covers every topic you need to implement a production Tomcat server. I have no criticisms of this book and no regrets for having ordered it.
