Tomcat is pretty straight forward. There is some documentation on the
Jakarta site where you download it from, but little supplied with the actual
distribution. However, there are some good examples supplied with the
distribution which is what I used primarly to get things working.
As for Apache - there are a few tricks. First I had to recompile Apache to
take advantage of plug in modules - rather than statically linked modules.
This was a bit of a hassel for a newbie, but I finally got this done. You
don't actually need apache as such - as Tomcat can also serve static pages.
I have also installed Interbase 6 beta. This is working great, except that
you can't use the SuperServer version with JDBC. So if you are looking at
using IB with JDBC make sure you are running the old architecture -
otherwise InterClient 1.5 will not interoperate with it.
Interbase JDBC doesn't support the whole JDBC 1.2 API either, so don't make
the mistake I did and start programming without knowing what bits are
supported.
Finally, watch out that your Linux install doesn't include java binaries
imbedded into the bin directory. I had stacks of trouble initially because
I was compiling and running with Kaffe Java, not the SDK from Sun. Funny
thing was that most things worked, until I got into using JDBC etc.
