This Short Cut tells you about tools that will improve the quality of your Java code, using checking above and beyond what the standard tools do, including:

Using javac options, JUnit and assertions Making your IDE work harder Checking your source code with PMD Checking your compiled code (.class files) with FindBugs Checking your program''s run-time behavior with Java PathFinder

It takes a book as versatile as its subject to cover Apache Tomcat, the popular open source Servlet and JSP container and high performance web server. Tomcat: The Definitive Guide is a valuable reference for administrators and webmasters, a useful guide for programmers who want to use Tomcat as their web application server during development or in production, and an excellent introduction for anyone interested in Tomcat.Updated for the latest version of Tomcat, this new edition offers a complete guide to installing, configuring, maintaining and securing this servlet container. In fact, with such a wealth of new information, this is essentially a new book rather than a simple revision. You will find details for using Tomcat on all major platforms, including Windows, Linux, OS X, Solaris, and FreeBSD, along with specifics on Tomcat configuration files, and step-by-step advice for deploying and running web applications.This book offers complete information for:

Installation and startup proceduresConfiguring Tomcat-including realms, roles, users, servlet sessions, and JNDI resources including JDBC DataSourcesDeploying web applications-individual servlets and JSP pages, and web application archive filesTuning Tomcat to measure and improve performanceIntegrating Tomcat with Apache Web ServerSecuring Tomcat to keep online thugs at bayTomcat configuration files-server.xml and web.xml, and moreDebugging and Troubleshooting-diagnosing problems with Tomcat or a web applicationCompiling your own Tomcat, rather than using the pre-built releaseRunning two or more Tomcat servlet containers in parallelThis book also offers an overview of the Tomcat open source project''s community resources, including docs, mailing lists, and more. Community interest fueled a strong demand for a Tomcat guide from O''Reilly. The result clearly exceeds expectations.

Jakarta Tomcat is not only the most commonly used open source servlet engine today, it''s become the de facto standard by which other servlet engines are measured. Powerful and flexible, it can be used as a stand-alone web server or in conjunction with another server, like Apache or IIS, to run servlets or JSPs. But mastery of Tomcat is not easy: because it''s as complex as it is complete. Tomcat: The Definitive Guide answers vexing questions that users, administrators, and developers alike have been asking. This concise guide provides much needed information to help harness Tomcat''s power and wealth of features.Tomcat: The Definitive Guide offers something for everyone who uses Tomcat. System and network administrators will find detailed instructions on installation, configuration, and maintenance. For users, it supplies insightful information on how to deploy Tomcat. And seasoned enterprise Java developers will have a complete reference to setting up, running, and using this powerful softwareThe book begins with an introduction to the Tomcat server and includes an overview of the three types of server configurations: stand-alone, in-process, and out-of-process. The authors show how directories are laid out, cover the initial setup, and describe how to set the environment variables and modify the configuration files, concluding with common errors, problems, and solutions. In subsequent chapters, they cover:

The server.xml configuration fileJava Security managerAuthentication schemes and Tomcat usersThe Secure Socket Layer (SSL)Tomcat JDBC RealmsInstalling servlets and Java Server PagesIntegrating Tomcat with ApacheAdvanced Tomcat configurationand much more.Tomcat: The Definitive Guide covers all major platforms, including Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X, contains details on Tomcat configuration files, and has a quick-start guide to get developers up and running with Java servlets and JavaServer Pages. If you''ve struggled with this powerful yet demanding technology in the past, this book will provide the answers you need.

The lint program checker has proven time and again to be one of the best tools for finding portability problems and certain types of coding errors in C programs. This book introduces you to lint, guides you through running it on your programs, and helps you to interpret lint's output. lint verifies a program or program segments against standard libraries, checks the code for common portability errors, and tests the programming against som tried and true guidelines. linting your code is a necessary (though not sufficient) step in writing clean, portable, effective programs.
