Re: [WEB400] Tomcat Documentation

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

Tomcat can serve its own documentation if you leave the tomcat-docs
application in the webapps directory. For Struts, the documentation is

included in the source distribution as a set of XML document. You
can use ant to build them, which just applies a style sheet to the
XML documentation and builds it to a directory you supply. Look at
the build.xml file in the root directory of the Struts source
distribution.
If you are using Eclipse you right click on the build.xml and select
Ant. Then specify your target directory as -Ddoc.dir=C:\xxx. Next,
select the compile.website target. That may do more than you want,
so you might want to modify build.xml to pull out all but the
documentation
build.

I use the nightly build documentation with Struts off of the Web site
because it is more complete (there is a lot of work going into
documentation
right now).

Okay, I'm ready to take the time to really understand Tomcat and how
it
works.  In order to do so, I'm downloading the 4.1.12 build and
installing
it on my super-duper high-powered workstation (which, being over a week
old,
is already an out-of-date clunker, but that's a different issue).

I wanted to download the documentation as well.  The thing is, the
documentation is spread all over various HTML pages and .TXT files.
Is
there any comprehensive set of Tomcat documentation, or do I have to
trace
down each branch of the documentation site downloading information?

Not coincidentally, I'm doing the same thing with Struts, and once
again
there's nice online documentation but nothing downloadable.

Failing finding downloadable documentation, does anybody know of a
utility
that will make it easy to download HTML documentation en masse?
