C:\> set JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx256M"
should be
C:\> set JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx256M
When using quotes, the environment options won't be applied under Windows.
You can verify this in the "Tomcat Web Application Manager" under "Server Status", look for "Max memory".

Section on setting up virtual hosts |
I am learning a lot from this book, so thank you for writing it.
However, I ran into a problem while trying to set up a virtual host in Tomcat on my machine. I added the <Host> element for "groovywigs.com" in the servlet.xml file as was explained in the book.
I then tried to access a web app using the "groovywigs.com" domain name, but the page returned said that it couldn't find the server for "groovywigs.com".
After reviewing the syntax in the servlet.xml file and verifying it was correct, I tried it again with the same result.
I finally went online and found a web site that contained instructions to add "groovywigs.com" to the host file under WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc and have it point to the loopback address 127.0.0.1. This made sense to me and it did work.
How do you get it to work without updating the Windows host file? Or is that something you only need to do on Windows, and you work primarily with Linux?
Thanks,
Mike

2nd paragraph (10th line from top) |
It says
"Context XML fragment files can reside ... directory tree or in your webapp's WEB-INF/ directory."
It should be
"Context XML fragment files can reside ... directory tree or in your webapp's META-INF/ directory."

Example 3-3 |
Hi,
I am learning a lot from your Tomcat book.
In the Ant example 3-3, "basedir" is set to the current directory, which in my experience has been the root directory for the web application.
However, in the "war" task, there is a reference in bold to the "webapp-dir" directory, which I infer is the root directory for the web application.
Does this mean we should put our build.xml file outside the root directory of the web app?
Thanks,
Mike

Here are some reasons to consider running Tomcat with Apache httpd as a frontend web server:

Top of page, first two lines |
The first two lines of the example will work, but the directory name should be corrected to mod_proxy_html, not mod_proxy_http.

First XML snippet from server.xml (2nd paragraph) |
The clientAuth in the example XML snippet is incorrect.
clientAuth="false"
should read
clientAuth="true"
The text above this snippet correctly states that the clientAuth should be set to true, but the XML example snippet does not match.
ISBN-13 for my paper copy of the book is: 978-0-596-10106-0

Connectors do not allow any nested components.
Valves are not recognized as nested components of connectors and though if you include a valve in a connector, you won't get any errors, the valve will NOT function!
Valves are only allowed for Engine, Host or Context.
Please refer to the Tomcat documentation, which make this quite clear!
