The Apache HTTP Server is web server software developed by the Apache Software Foundation,
and distributed under the
open sourceApache license.
The software is (and has been since
1996),
the most popular web server software, and as of
August
2007
is used by approximately 50% of all web sites.
Versions of Apache are available for
Linux,
Mac OS X,
Windows,
Novell NetWare,
and many versions of UNIX.
Here are some books about Apache:

Product Description: If you'd like to learn how to create web services (in particular, using Apache Axis2) and make some sense of various standards like SOAP, WSDL, MTOM, WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-Policy, XML Encryption and XML Signature, then this book is for you. Why? First, it has a tutorial style that walks you through in a step-by-step manner. Second, it is concise. There is no lengthy, abstract description. Third, Many diagrams are used to show the flow of processing and high level concepts so that you get a whole picture of what's happening. The first 46 pages are freely available on www.agileskills2.org and you can judge it yourself.
With more than 67% of web servers running Apache, it is by far the most widely used web server platform in the world. Apache has evolved into a powerful system that easily rivals other HTTP servers in terms of functionality, efficiency, and speed. Despite these impressive capabilities, though, Apache is only a beneficial tool if it's a secure one.
To be sure, administrators installing and configuring Apache still need a sure-fire way to secure it--whether it's running a huge e-commerce operation, corporate intranet, or just a small hobby site.
Our new guide, Apache Security, gives administrators and webmasters just what they crave--a comprehensive security source for Apache. Successfully combining Apache administration and web security topics, Apache Security speaks to nearly everyone in the field. What's more, it offers a concise introduction to the theory of securing Apache, as well as a broad perspective on server security in general.
But this book isn't just about theory. The real strength of Apache Security lies in its wealth of interesting and practical advice, with many real-life examples and solutions. Administrators and programmers will learn how to:
install and configure Apache
prevent denial of service (DoS) and other attacks
securely share servers
control logging and monitoring
secure custom-written web applications
conduct a web security assessment
use mod_security and other security-related modules
And that's just the tip of the iceberg, as mainstream Apache users will also gain valuable information on PHP and SSL/ TLS. Clearly, Apache Security is packed and to the point, with plenty of details for locking down this extremely popular and versatile web server.

Product Description: Develop and deploy SOAP and RESTful Web Services
Design and develop web services using contract-first and code-first approaches
Publish web services using various CXF frontends such as JAX-WS and Simple frontend
Invoke services by configuring CXF transports
Create custom interceptors by implementing advanced features such as CXF Interceptors, CXF Invokers, and CXF Features
The first practical guide on Apache CXF with real-world examples
In Detail
The Apache CXF framework helps you to develop web services using standards based programming model and also provides a flexible deployment model for deploying web services. Developing SOAP and RESTful applications can be made easy by using Apache CXF framework. However, getting started with developing web services using the Apache CXF framework is not easy.
This is the first book that gives details on how to use the Apache CXF framework for developing SOAP and REST web services. It is a hands-on practical guide that simplifies working with CXF framework as it covers all major aspects with real-world examples. The chapters cover the various CXF features in detail and each has systematic steps with practical, simple examples to implement these features on your web services.
The book introduces the Apache CXF framework and its features such as Frontend API, Data Bindings, Transports, Spring-based configuration, and CXF tools. It also has chapters on SOAP and RESTful services. It will help you create RESTful services that support XML as well as the widely accepted Java Script Object Notation (JSON) format. It explains the components of CXF architecture that help developers customize the Apache CXF framework to suit the target application. The book covers both code-first and contract-first approaches for service deployment. You will see how to develop services in a flexible deployment model offered by CXF, unit test them in a stand-alone environment, and finally promote them in an application server environment.
The instructions in this book will help developers to build their application according their requirements by using any of the frontends supported by Apache CXF framework. The various CXF frontend APIs covered in this book provide a wide variety of options in developing and deploying your application.
The book introduces some advanced concepts such as Interceptors and features that will add extra capability to your service component. It will help you take advantage of different transport features offered by the CXF runtime such as HTTP, HTTP(S), and JMS protocols. Finally, the book mentions various tools that help developers creating web services as well as creating Java and JavaScript-based web services clients which invoke a real-world .NET web service. These tools are standard batch files that can be easily executed from the Windows command shell by following the instructions in the book.
