Servlet Container Internals - by Damodar Chetty (author of Tomcat 6 Developer's Guide)
This presentation will be based on Tomcat 6 Developer's Guide (http://www.packtpub.com/tomcat-6-developers-guide/book), which provides a guided excursion into the internals of one of the most popular servlet containers in use today.
Servlet containers are fairly complex beasts, and most Java EE Web developers and administrators merely scratch the surface when it comes to understanding how they are architected. This book takes advantage of the open source nature of the Tomcat project, to explore the internal workings of a production-grade servlet container.
The presentation focuses on the first three chapters of this book. We will begin by covering the basics principles underlying dynamic web application development as well as server-side request processing. It will then cover key aspects of the servlet specification. Finally, we will look at the key components that comprise the Tomcat servlet container.
Advanced topics such as building a Tomcat distribution, Java EE class loading principles and mechanics, and Tomcat startup processing, etc. will be covered depending on participant interest and questions.
The goal of this presentation is to help you understand the request processing elements of a servlet container like few others do.

TDS Telecom (CCW Auditorium)
The meeting will be in the CCW Auditorium at the TDS Telecom building at 525 Junction Road. Please park in the parking ramp behind the building. There will be a place to mingle prior to the presentation outside the room called "Central Perk." We will serve beverages and have food on hand. You can get in the building from the entrance from inside the parking ramp. It is open until 8pm. Once you walk through the sliding glass doors, you can proceed straight ahead (past the elevators) into the Central Perk (tables and chairs). The Auditorium is to the left of that area. We will post signs but it should be easy to see. Our front desk number is 664-4500 if you get lost. TDS will also have wireless access for all attendees.
