Chapter 2. Configuration and Deployment

Types of deployment

The deployment staging mode determines how deployment files are made available to the target servers that must deploy an application or standalone module. The Tomcat 7 server provides three different options for staging files listed as follows:

Stage mode
Nostage mode
External_stage mode

The following table describes the behavior and best practices for using the different deployment staging modes:

Deployment Staging Mode

Behavior

When to Use

Stage

The Tomcat administrator first copies the deployment unit source files to the staging directories of the target servers and then the target servers deploy them using their local copy of the deployment files.

Deploying small or moderate-sized applications to multiple Tomcat 7 server instances.

Deploying small or moderate-sized applications to a cluster.

Nostage

I like the book because the Author gave not just theory, but a lot of step by step practical hands on information.So the book can be used two-flod. As a book that gives you a good understanding of Tomcat 7 and a manual that guides you with step by step instructions for different implementations of Tomcat.The Book addresses 5 main areas that were well covered.Tomcat installation on Linux and Windows, configuration, Web server setup, Security, and trouble-shooting issues.

I just Love The step by step approach of this book. Bought the Kindle edition and how convenient that had been for me

Robert Alan Ward Jun 05, 2015

I like this book and it is already providing good value as a reference. I am not reading it cover to cover but as items come up in daily work it has helped several times already in the past month.

Deepanshu Sarawagi Oct 31, 2016

This isn't a great book to learn Tomcat at professional level. Doesn't explain about Tomcat's architecture which is the most important chapter. Although, can be recommended for beginners.

Chris Mar 09, 2013

Not a bad book but I didnt love it either. At times it was hard to follow and a bit wordy for me personally.
