Very inconsistent from chapter to chapter
Very inconsistent from chapter to chapter

Some of the chapters in this I found very useful e.g.

I am about 2/3rds of the way through the book now, and if I had known it would be this bad I would have abandoned it earlier, I am now far enough in that I do not think it is worth starting fresh with an O'Reily book.

This book gets two stars from me as I had some real `a-haaaa' moments reading it, my issues is many of the chapters feel like they were shoved in without proper care, and certainly without a proper independent review.

I am not a nit-picking person, I am sure my review is full of grammatical, spelling issues etc., but the point of a text book is you pay close attention while trying to commit these things to your brain, and the number of errors in the last couple of chapters I have been reading are such that I can not stay focused on the material.



Bad book to setup DBCP
This book gives a speedstart in getting high level architecture of Tomcat 5.

However, this book fails to provide a tested and consistent example on setting up DBCP (Apache Database Connection Pooling).

It is rather disappointing and discouraging when you put your trust to a book that in the end gives bad examples.

It's better than not having any Tomcat book at all, but this is not an exceptionally complete or well-organized book.


Not for beginners
Very good book, but I first read it as a preparation to manage a tomcat server and I could barely understand.
