About Books:
60-80% of Java developers require only simple Java Web applications. For these advanced, specialized users, the optimal deployment tool for simple Java-based Web applications is the open source Tomcat Web application server, which has graduated from Jakarta to become a topline Apache project, Apache Tomcat. Pro Apache Tomcat 6 fills an important need in the very large, very under-served Tomcat tech market. Unlike beginner manuals, this book wastes no time on Java or JSP introductions, and discusses JSP and Java code minimally. Instead, it gets right to the point and teaches you to use the newest Tomcat, version 6.

About Author:
Matthew Moodie was a technical and developmental editor for two and a half years, and served as editor for Beginning JSP 2: From Novice to Professional and Foundations of JSP Design Patterns, both published by Apress.
