Every Java-based Web application developed needs to be deployed. Period. The majority of Java-based Web applications are or need to be simple. 60-80% of Java developers only need simple Java Web apps (JSP/Servlets), the largest Java tech market and opportunity. The tool to deploy the majority of these simple Java-based Web applications is the open source Apache Tomcat Web application server.§Tomcat holds a near market share monopoly in the simple Java Web app server space with approximate 85%+ marketshare, followed by Jetty with less than 10% and maybe another or two who hold the remaining market share (Tomcat is NOT like the more complex J2EE/Java EE Web app server like BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, JBoss, Apache Geronimo, etc.).§Pro Apache Tomcat 6 is looking to be first book (if not second to only one other) to hit very large Tomcat tech market where Tomcat book sales of late reflect the anticipation for Tomcat 6 and the fact that nearly all the Tomcat books in market are very dated based on Tomcat 4.x or 5.x. Also, this book wastes no time on Java or JSP introductions, and discusses JSP and Java code minimally, unlike competitors books. Instead, it gets right to the point and teaches you to use the newest Tomcat, version 6.§Other than the pending news on Tomcat 6, Tomcat has also graduated from Jakarta to become a topline Apache project, Apache Tomcat. Other Tomcat news is that professional open source companies and organizations are continuing adoption of Apache Tomcat en-mass as part of other product suites and solutions, including JBoss, HP, Novell, IBM, and others.
