Negative Positive
Title: NOT FOR TOMCAT USERS
Review: If you are looking at this book for information about Tomcat, DON'T! The information is out-dated and limited. The authors discuss Tomcat 3.2 because Tomcat 4.0 uses Java 1.2 and the authors state "...Java 1.2, is less widely available than Java 1.1..." This book was Published in December 2002. Java 1.2 was available in 1999, you do the math! This is unacceptable. I find it ironic that another book, "Professional Apache Tomcat," (WROX), which was published before new Apache book covers 4.0, even 4.1! It also appears, from the tone of the book, that the authors do not care much for Java and would rather the reader use Perl.Do not buy this book if you want Tomcat information. Honestly for straight Apache information I would stick with the 2nd edition of the Apache book and use on-line resources.Sadly O'Reilly books are lacking in quality lately.
Is the review positive or negative?
