Preface

Welcome to the Tomcat FAQ. In conjunction with this FAQ we strongly emphasis doing the following:

  • Read the docs. Most answers are already documented.

  • Know the [http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/ Servlet] and [http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/ JSP] specification. Many answers are not documented by the Tomcat team since they are generic and already defined by the specs. Know the specs, they let you ensure your webapps are portable across different servlet containers.

  • Please do some research. Use a search engine. It is frustrating to see questions which can be answered with a simple Google search (or your favorite search engine).

  • Browse or search our [http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html mailing lists].
