How can I move my Web applications outside the Tomcat directory?
A: The number of connections accepted by Tomcat is determined by the <Connector> elements in the server.xml configuration file.

How many connections can be made to Tomcat on Windows?
A: Tomcat does not support a <run-at> element, it is not part of the servlet specification. This feature is a custom extension of the Resin servlet container.

tomcat-apache.conf, how come?

NoClassDefFoundError for ELResolver with Tomcat 6!
A: Tomcat 6 implements the Java Server Pages 2.1 specification, in which the ELResolver class is moved to a more general javax.el package.
