Nick,
I just saw on the site
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/03/15/tomcat.html
that James Goodwill has published a book titled "Using Tomcat." Although, I
have not purchased the book, I would image that it may become another
(albeit not free) source for Tomcat product documentation.
FYI, Free means free (i.e., you get what you pay for) and at Jcafeinc.com it
works wonderfully for us and the price is right.
