Table of Contents

Here is the new and eagerly anticipated Table of Contents for the upcoming Hitchhiker's Guide to Tomcat 2003 edition. This is in a high state of flux so check back regularly. If you would like to see something here or have an idea for an example/revision then please e-mail me at aff9@users.sourceforge.net.

Notes:-
The following modifications will be done soon.
  • Re-order web server integration Part for connectors rather than servers. If this is appropriate - If more than one connector possible for each server. (Apache can, but can others?)
  • Other connectors that will be of interest include Coyote JK2 (replaces mod_jk), HTTP/1.1, and a note on the new AJP14 protocol may be useful.
