Title: Ant Script of Book Samples overwrites Tomcat server.xml
Product review: The build script from the downloaded samples would carelessly overwrite your tomcat server.xml file.According to the comments found in the build.xml file of the "examples" app it was intended to "Copy into place a patched version of server.xml that doesn't contain special configuration for the /examples webapp context".The code author seems to be unaware of the need to preserve changes that people have made to their own copies of server.xml files. And I don't understand why the code author had to use the context name "examples" to introduce such unncessary complication for people who just casually download the samples to try out.So the deployment screwed up my tomcat server and overwrote many modifications I made in my server.xml file for various purposes such as enabling SSL.The book content is overall good. So I still give it 4 stars.
