RE: Tomcat Education
Stick with XML. Check Sun's web-site for JAX-B. Also, use Google to search for Castor and Zeus, both Java data binding products. There are several (about a half dozen) books available for Struts right now. To be more specific, we're using Tomcat purely as a data marshalling layer to push database information to the client as either CSV or XML data. I haven't worked with Struts before so I'm not sure if I still have a need for it as I'm only working with the Model and not the View. Also, we're working entirely with servlets so anything biased toward servlets would be preferred.

Tomcat Education Examples
I understand that this list can be helpful to have our questions answered. And, that books seem not to be the most up todate means to acquire the most current practices and Tomcat (catalina) techniques. I learn best by examples and I have been a Tomcat user for several years. In all my google searching, I have not found a robust template example that has assisted me in creating my app. I am having to code from scratch. I have started over several times because my design was flawed for one reason or another, but I am making headway. My app is now in production. What I want most is to be part of a group that is focused on developing the end application. Tomcat is an important part of this development and this 'app-group' would need to recognize Tomcat's capabilities. How many others need an 'app-group'? or examples?

Re: Tomcat Education Examples
I think what you're looking for is an application framework. There are a number of them at Apache: Struts: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/index.html Turbine: http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/index.html Tapestry: http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/index.html Cocoon: http://cocoon.apache.org/ Jetspeed: http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/index.html All of the above projects have nice example templates.

Re: Tomcat Education
Hello Ben. There are several (about a half dozen) books available for Struts right now. There is an O'Reilly book called Programming Jakarta Struts and a book by Ted Husted (acknowledged struts guru) called Struts in Action. Both of these should be readily available at your local computer book store.

Re: Tomcat Education
The Professional Apache Tomcat book is a good foundation how Tomcat works but it is intended for more of a sys-admin type than a developer. I thought it was pretty good on that aspect. Not many books cater to the poor admins who could really care less about the inner workings of someones tag library. Various servlet and Struts books can help you with the java. This list is a good place to learn. It is the only source you will find that is up to date. By the time somebody gets around to writing a book and it gets published it's already out of date. -e On Mon, 28 Jul 2003, Ben Johnson wrote: Hello all, I'm new to the Tomcat world and I'm desperately trying to find some good resources to learn from.

Re: Tomcat Education
The Wrox book covers Tomcat 4. I know this because I have a copy of it. It's actually a pretty decent resource. Someone sent me a copy of Mastering Tomcat Development, which looks pretty good from my brief skimming. I think perhaps you should clarify what you mean by integrating with Tomcat. The only thing I know of that causes difficulty with any of the number of servlet books out there is that the books typically use the Invoker servlet which has been disabled by default in Tomcat 4 for months (but is easily enabled if you must use it although it isn't recommended). The Invoker servlet issue is clearly covered in the Tomcat FAQ, which is here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq. There's the Application Development Guide: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/index.html There's the ClassLoader HOWTO, which will come in handy when you write your own classes and you want to know where to put them and why: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html And the configuration reference: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/index.html You will save yourself a ton of time, effort, and grief if, when you experience a problem and can't solve it after a bit of time, you post here to the list. You'll usually get an answer promptly, typically within an hour or so. So, if you want to start another thread about your admin tool question, I'm pretty confident you will get an answer promptly, assuming your question is clearly worded and your post has specific information in it describing what you are trying to do.
