Do you want to learn more about Tomcat internals and how everything fits together? Do you want to be able to apply patches for bugs to your Tomcat installation without having to wait for the next release? If you answered yes to any of the above questions then this presentation is for you. Starting with how the Tomcat subversion repository is structured, this presentation will show you how to build each of the major Tomcat versions from source, how to use your local build to generate binary patches for specific bugs and how to extend Tomcat functionality for your environment. After an overview of the Tomcat request processing architecture, a request will be examined as it passes through Tomcat using remote debugging. Key classes and decision points will be highlighted to provide attendees with potential starting points when debugging their own issues. To finish the presentation, a nd to give a practical example of how the knowledge gained may be put to use, a current bug will be examined, the root cause identified and a patch to fix it generated. Presenter Bio Mark has been using and developing Tomcat for over five years. He first got involved in the development of Tomcat when he needed better control over the SSL configuration than was available at the time. After fixing that first bug, he started working his way through the remaining Tomcat bugs and is still going. Along the way Mark has become a Tomcat committer and PMC member, volunteered to be the Tomcat 4 release manager, created the Tomcat security pages, become a member of the ASF and joined the Apache Security Committee. He also helps maintain the ASF's Bugzilla instances. Mark has a MEng in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Birmingham, UK and is currently a Senior Software Engineer with the Covalent Products Division of SpringSource. + ************************************************************************** Introduction to Apache Tomcat 7 [acus2009 457] by Mark Thomas @@ -17, +19 @@ Presentation â 60 minutes Description In addition to implementing version 3.0 of the Servlet 3.0 specification, Apache Tomcat 7 has a number of new features and improvements to old favourites.

A lot of software products, Apache Tomcat included, don't come with any tools or frameworks to manage this process. In this session we will dig into the undocumented possibilities that Apache Tomcat offers that makes Apache Tomcat one of the most flexible and powerful application servers in the world when it comes to provisioning. Tomcat offers very unique, but unfortunately undocumented capabilities in this respect. The presentation is focused on managing installations, configurations, upgrades and even downgrades in a way that little or even no configuration and migration efforts have to take place. Using this strategy will save your organization countless hours in managing your Apache Tomcat infrastructure.
