Nathan, There is pretty good documentation both on the website and contained within the distributions in the doc/ directory. There is no "John Q's Chronicle of Setting Up Tomcat 3.3.1" to the best of my knowledge. However, I think that something like that would be a great thing to write and submit to the developer list. If I only had the time... ;)
This is for 4.0: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/index.html http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/appdev/index.html and for 3.3.1 http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/index.html The source code is another good place, at least to understand the architecture or finer points of performance. The performance of your Servlets hitting the database is pretty much up to the developers of your Servlets and the database machine. Making Tomcat 3.3.1 bulletproof probably means stripping out the non-essential items (examples/ test/ admin/), making sure your webapps are performance demons, creating a proper set of workers/connectors to your load, and making sure you have enough memory. You might also have to play with the Session manager params too. Taking down your log levels is a possible performance gain too. If you define any Context entries in server.xml, set reloadable="false". Having a webserver like Apache handle static content is a plus. A search of the mailing list for similar topics might yield some fruit, as well as a general call for folks to write up their ten best tips and tricks, and submit it to the list. Maybe we can put together a document between us.

Is their anywhere some really solid indepth documentation for setting up and maintaining tomcat for production or development environments. I need to tweak Tomcat 3.3.1 so that it is basically bulletproof and will not fall over under strenuous use, or basically when many users are querying a database and waiting for results concurrently. The more advanced information the better, thanks.
