Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Jelica, for standing beside me during the writing of this book. Without her support and encouragement, completing this book would have been a much more difficult task.

I’d also like to thank my parents for providing me with the life guidance that enabled me to be where I am.

I would like to express my gratitude to all the people helping me to make this book better: Chád Darby, who helped to achieve a higher technical standard for this book; Chris Nelson, who patiently helped me improve my writing style and make the book read better with his excellent editorial skills; Corbin Collins, Steve Anglin, and everyone else at Apress for all the hard work they did to get this book published.

Big thanks to all who contribute to the Apache Tomcat project and other open-source software for being part of a community that creates such great products.

And finally, I’d like to thank all my colleagues and friends with whom I’ve worked throughout my career, for contributing to my professional development, which prepared me to be co-author of this book.
