The Introduction to Apache Tomcat training course focuses on installing, configuring, and tuning Tomcat as a JSP and Servlet container. The Tomcat training course is structured around the most recent Tomcat 6.x release. Additionally, our Tomcat Administration training examines configuring Tomcat to successfully operate with the Apache HTTPD product (Apache Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Daemon product).
This course can be combined with the Introduction to Apache HTTPD Administration course to provide a comprehensive Apache Administration training program.
The Introduction to Apache Tomcat training course can be taught using Apache Tomcat 6 or 7.
