I am taking over management and development of a website developed in Java using Hibernate and Postgres, running on Apache/Tomcat. I am an experienced Java developer, and have experience in Ruby on Rails, and am expert in Oracle SQL. What is the best documentation for me to read?

For Tomcat, the official documentation is a good start. Tomcat: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition is also worth a look.

For Hibernate, I can recommend Java Persistence with Hibernate. I found it very useful and thorough - it may be that others feel it's too dense, but if you are an SQL expert already, I don't think you will have any problem with it.

1@kevin, we haven't found any major issues with it being out of date yet. So I am confident it is good for learning the fundamental concepts and best practices, and when in doubt, you can consult the [online documentation](http://www.hibernate.org/docs). – Péter Török Apr 01 '11 at 08:44

1I'm some weeks into development now, and JPwH has been very helpful. It is not quite current for Hibernate 3.6. – kevin cline Jun 29 '11 at 12:26

We decided to do future development with Grails. I'm finding the GORM view of hibernate to be quite nice. – kevin cline Sep 03 '11 at 03:42
