Apache books

What is the new essential for Apache developers? The Apache Phrasebook. Packed with practical solutions, or "phrases," for tasks that the Apache developer much accomplish every day, the phrasebook fills the need for a short, functional, to-the-point reference for Apache. The code contained in the phrasebook is flexible, so it can be easily adapted to your needs. Today's problem is likely to be tomorrow's problem, so don't waste your time on lengthy tutorials. Go straight to practical Apache tools that provide immediately applicable solutions for any situation with the Apache Phrasebook.

Tomcat is an open source web server that processes JavaServer Pages(TM) and Java(TM) Servlets.
It can run as a stand-alone server or be integrated with the Apache web server. Like Apache, the core Tomcat program is relatively simple, but there are many enhancements that can be added that make it much more complex.
This book will provide you, the server administrator, with the necessary knowledge to install and configure Tomcat, as well as many of the most popular enhancements to the Tomcat package. It will help you plan the installation and possible growth options of your site.
You will learn how to integrate Tomcat with Apache (and the situations when you should and when you shouldn't), how to set up database connectivity through JDBC, and how to ensure your web applications are secure.
This book also covers some of the tools that can be integrated with Tomcat, such as Ant (for automatically building web applications) and Log4J (for advanced logging).
Who is this book for?
This book is for professionals working with Java web applications. It assumes a certain knowledge of the JSP and Servlet technologies, but only from an administrator's point-of-view. Knowledge of databases, XML, HTML, networking, and general administrative techniques is also assumed.

Pro Apache Tomcat 6 is ideal for Tomcat administrators and others who want to configure Tomcat. It covers only Tomcat 6 and doesn't get bogged down trying to overexplain tasks from each older version of the server. The book examines the entire installation, including file system, database, and web server, and provides you with security and performance tips.

Author Matthew Moodie describes configuration files, as well as administration features like security, auto-deployment, remote deployment, and data sources. He gets right to the point and teaches you to use Tomcat without wasting time on Java or JSP introductions or excess discussion of JSP and Java code.

Pro Apache XML thoroughly introduces several subprojects found under the Web Services–driven API umbrella. The book begins with a concise introduction to XML and Web Services. Subsequent chapters devote themselves to specific subprojectscovering their purposes, APIs, implementation, and practical uses through appropriate code examples. Additional material includes

• Introductions to several of the Apache Foundation’s hottest projects, including Xerces, Axis, and Xindice
• Building XML–driven websites using the popular Cocoon project
• Transforming XML–based documents into a variety of formats, including PDF, SVG, and PS, using the Formatting Objects Processor (FOP) project

You’lll learn to perform tasks like validation, parsing, transformation, and storage and how to work with this information through a programming interface. You may either read this book from cover to cover or jump to any desired subproject for a detailed study of its implementation. All programming examples use the Java programming language.

• The combination of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP is popular because of interaction, flexibility, customization, and-most importantly-the cost effectiveness of its components
• Helps LAMP professionals take their skills to the next level with in-depth discussions of OOP; extensions of PHP such as PEAR, GD, XML, and CURL; improving site security; and advanced tools available to the coder
• Those proficient in other languages such as Java, C++, Perl and ASP will find this guide invaluable when transitioning to the LAMP environment
• The Web site includes sample scripts created in the course of each chapter, and several applications that can be modified and reused

Get up-to-speed quickly on running a network using Apache Server with this introductory guide. Aimed at administrators new to Apache, this practical guide offers tips for running Apache on multiple platforms--including UNIX-based systems, Windows NT/2000, and Mac OS--and contains clear, straightforward advice for administering Apache effectively in today's Web environment.

This book is ideal for Tomcat administrators and folks who want to configure Tomcat. Author Matthew Moodie describes configuration files, as well as administration features like security, auto-deployment, remote deployment, and datasources.

Moodie wastes no time on Java or JSP introductions, and discusses JSP and Java code minimally. He gets right to the point and teaches you to use Tomcat. (This book exclusively covers Tomcat 5.5.x as well as Tomcat 5.x, while other books still linger on version 4.) And while other Tomcat books are collaborative efforts, written by multiple authors, this book sails smoothly with Moodie's narration alone.

Apache Web Server is a hands-on, practical guide that can be used to master installation, configuration, and troubleshooting of the Apache Web server. The book takes a multiplatform approach, teaching the reader how to run Apache with any Linux distribution or Windows. Key topics include installation, configuration, modularity, virtual hosting, security and SSL, access controls, Server Side Includes (SSI) and CGI, HTTP caching, and troubleshooting. The book also provides examples of sample commands and output, plus screen shots of related graphical utilities.
