Tomcat Administrator

Hi,

I have been working with jakrta tomcat for the last four years. Here what I usually do is,

We have Jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25.tar.gz. I just copy this file into /usr/local of CentOS 5.x server. Then do "tar -zxvf Jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25.tar.gz". It will create a folder in the name of Jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25.This folder has webapps folder. I place a war format file into this webapps folder and restart tomcat.At this stage, For example, if I place a Test.war file, it will create a folder in the name of Test under webapps folder.

Then I need to establish connectivity with DB by mentioning DB server IP,port and schema user with password. This DB(database.properties) file is under Test/web/conf and WEBINF/classes/. So I need make entries in these two paths of database.properites file.

All these tasks take 15 minutes. Apart from this, what are the activities I need to perform? I want to become Tomcat administrator.

Thanks for your time.
