One decision to be made when actually *writing* this thing is whether you
consider the servlet spec to be a "required reading" prerequisite or
not.  I'd certainly vote for that, but you'll find that the current App
Developer's Guide does cover quite a bit (but not all) of the material
from the spec.

Another decision is how Tomcat-specific you want to be here.  Everything
about creating a WAR should be (in theory) portable to *any* server, and
we've also covered the admin stuff (i.e. changes to server.xml) in the
previous section.
