Acknowledgments
The authors would collectively like to thank the following individuals:
Jeff Bleiel, our development editor, for his work liaising with Manning—without Jeff’s input, the book would not be what it is today; Gary Tully for his tireless technical reviews of the entire book; the Manning staff for their arduous work on the book; Filip Hanik for his assistance with Tomcat; Jan Bartel and Greg Wilkins for their assistance with Jetty; David Jencks and Kevan Miller for their assistance with Geronimo; and Jaikiran Pai for his assistance with JBoss.
We would also like to thank the following reviewers, who read the manuscript at different stages of its development, for their invaluable feedback: Jeff Davis, Deepak Vohra, Robert Hanson, Davide Piazza, David Strong, Tijs Rademakers, Prasad A. Chodavarapu, John Merryman, Jeroen Benckhuijsen, Pratik Patel, Scott Dawson, Jason Kolter, Rod Biresch, and Roberto Rojas.
Finally, thanks to the many readers of Manning’s Early Access Program (MEAP) for their comments and input on early drafts of the manuscript posted in the Author Online forum.
I would like to thank my incredible wife Janene for her patience and understanding during another book project, and my girls Bailey and Jade for reminding me what really matters in life.
