Howdy, I would caution you to look at the code of small, focused projects first. It's easier to keep to best practices and consistent style in smaller projects. Tomcat does a whole lot, has many features, lots of pluggable entities, so the design would appear overly complex to anyone not aware of the many nuances. That said, tomcat code is excellent IMHO.
