For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

Web Application Deployment module A900
Tomcat - Extra Features
Exercises, examples and other material relating to training module A900. This topic is presented on public courses Deploying Apache and Tomcat, Deploying Java Applications on Linux / Unix

This module covers topics raised during Tomcat deployment courses, or which we will be covering on future private courses. Most of the subjects covered here will be of interest to a minority of trainees, so we won't be studying them in detail on every public course.

1121Sharing the load with Apache httpd and perhaps Tomcat
"Can you show us how to share the load of a web site between various servers" is one of the question that comes up quite often on the more advanced web server configuration courses that we run.

3018Tuning Apache httpd and Tomcat to work well together
If you're running Tomcat as your servlet / JSP container, you're more than likely to have it (or them - you may have multiple instances) running as application servers behind Apache httpd (the Http server) or behind a pair of Http servers. That just like having a team of people providing a service (let's ...

One of the major enhancements in release 2.2 of Apache httpd is the addition of the mod_proxy_ajp and mod_proxy_balancer modules to the standard distribution.

1006Apache httpd and Apache Tomcat together tips
Many sites run two web servers - Apache httpd is ideal for plain HTML documents and scripts / programs that are single pages, run rarely, not all linked in together.

1896Virtual Hosts and Virtual Servers
Do you want to use a single computer to host many different web sites? There are no less than four quite common ways of doing this - each of which has its advantages and disadvantages.

1376Choosing between mod_proxy and mod_rewrite
If you're connecting an Apache httpd server to an Apache Tomcat server, you can do so via proxied http requests - i.e. have your customer facing http server relay the request on, perhaps having modified it, to Tomcat and then passing the response back. Two different Apache modules give you the facility ...

1383Monitoring mod_jk and how it is load balancing
Apache httpd with mod_jk has the ability to balance the load forwarded to a number of instances of a Java application running in different Tomcat containers, probably on different host c.p.u.s in most circumstances. I covered this a few days ago - see here for details. But there's a follow up question ...
