Summary: Very thorough, lots of practical information
Comment: I was quite pleased with this book. I've been active on the Tomcat mailing lists for many months, and have seen the level of frustration experienced by new users firsthand due to the existing Tomcat documentation. While lack of solid documentation is one of the problems most open source projects face, there are always books written as supplements, and of the Tomcat books I have read, this one stands out far above the rest.
In particular, I found the chapters on Shared Tomcat Hosting (Chapter 19), Log4J (Chapter 18), Server Load Testing (Chapter 20), and the web server connectors to be the most valuable. Most of the traffic on the mailing lists is generated from problems using the connectors, and the authors went to great lengths to explain their configuration and usage in a clear and concise manner, even in a load balancing environment.
For systems administrators in a corporate or ISP environment, the chapter on shared hosting is worth the price of the book all by itself. It lays out how to handle shared hosting with Tomcat solo as well as integrated with Apache, and also describes setting up a separate JVM for each virtual host, something that can be critical to making system administration easy. After all, you don't want a problem with one client's Tomcat to cause problems for other clients.
The book deserves the use of the word "Professional" in its title, as it goes way beyond simply setting up Tomcat to work with servlets and JSP. Especially in later chapters, the issues encountered by administrators and developers in a professional or corporate, mixed-use environment are covered concisely and thoroughly.
All told, one of the better technical books I have read, and I have read more than I care to count. In addition to being a solid reference, this book gave me information I was able to use at an advanced level right away on my own servers for my own clients. You can't ask for more than that.

Summary: Good for non-developers too
Comment: I'm not a software developer but need to know about Tomcat - detail on what it can do and how it relates to web servers and applications servers. Before picking up this book I had no direct experience of running either Tomcat or even the Apache Server. This book provides an excellent introduction to the subject as well as having a wealth of detail for the more demanding reader. Highly recommended.

Summary: So-called cryptic tomcat documentation is a better read.
Comment: I purchased the book literally "fooled" by the title. There is nothing professional about this book. All this book tells you is the documentation that comes with tomcat! It does not even provide some naive examples (forget "professional" ones). (Does not explain jk2 installation, hardly any detailed configuration routines!)
The only other purpose this book can serve to anyone, is to save paper while printing tomcat documentation.
