Jakarta Tomcat 4.0.4

[KapilRaj]

Jentlemen,

01. Can anyone suggest a Good Reference book on Jakarta Tomcat 4.0.4 (Servelet engine)?
02. Is there any kernel parameter / patch tuning required for installing and using this on my HP9000 A400 / HPUX 11.0?.
03. I hv JDK 131 in my box , how do i improve performance ?.

Thanks for your valuable time

Online book (converted to html) named "A Hitch-Hiker's guide to Tomcat" can be found at:
http://tomcatbook.sourceforge.net/book/defaulthtml/index.html
You might need some socket-patches.. as described at:

I hv some more probs.

My startup script for tomcat returns to the prompt immd. But it takes round about 4-5 minutes to initialise all the servletts & connectors. How can i ammend the startup script so that it gives the prompt back only after completing all the initialisation tasks

Once the server starts it detaches into the background
like a good daemon. You will need to add a loop to monitor
progress. If it doens't start listening until it has
completed initialization you
can grep netstat -an.

Depending on what is logged you could also watch the log
until the server indictates
initialization is complete.

I have a similiar problem where out database needs to
be up when we start our web server. The web server
startup script checks to see
if it can connect to the db.
If not it loops until it can.
