								<p>In many production environments, it is very useful to have the capability
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to deploy a new web application, or undeploy an existing one, without having
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to shut down and restart the entire container.  In addition, you can request
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								an existing application to reload itself, even if you have not declared it
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to be <code>reloadable</code> in the Tomcat 6 server
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								configuration file.</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>To support these capabilities, Tomcat 6 includes a web application
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								(installed by default on context path <code>/manager</code>) that supports
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the following functions:</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Deploy a new web application from the uploaded contents of a WAR file.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Deploy a new web application, on a specified context path, from the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    server file system.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>List the currently deployed web applications, as well as the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    sessions that are currently active for those web apps.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Reload an existing web application, to reflect changes in the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    contents of <code>/WEB-INF/classes</code> or <code>/WEB-INF/lib</code>.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    </li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>List the OS and JVM property values.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>List the available global JNDI resources, for use in deployment
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    tools that are preparing <code><ResourceLink></code> elements
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    nested in a <code><Context></code> deployment description.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>List the available security roles defined in the user database.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Start a stopped application (thus making it available again).</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Stop an existing application (so that it becomes unavailable), but
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    do not undeploy it.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Undeploy a deployed web application and delete its document base
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    directory (unless it was deployed from file system).</li>
							 | 
						||
|

								<p>A default Tomcat installation includes the manager. To add an instance of the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Manager web application <code>Context</code> to a new host install the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>manager.xml</code> context configuration file in the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]</code> folder. Here is an
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								example:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<pre>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<Context path="/manager" debug="0" privileged="true"
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								         docBase="/usr/local/kinetic/tomcat6/server/webapps/manager">
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</Context>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</pre>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>If you have Tomcat configured to support multiple virtual hosts
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								(websites) you would need to configure a Manager for each.</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>There are three ways to use the <code>Manager</code> web application.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>As an application with a user interface you use in your browser.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Here is an example URL where you can replace <code>localhost</code> with
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								your website host name:  <code>http://localhost/manager/html/</code> .</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>A minimal version using HTTP requests only which is suitable for use
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								by scripts setup by system administrators.  Commands are given as part of the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								request URI, and responses are in the form of simple text that can be easily
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								parsed and processed.  See <a href="#Supported Manager Commands">
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Supported Manager Commands</a> for more information.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>A convenient set of task definitions for the <em>Ant</em>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								(version 1.4 or later) build tool.  See
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<a href="#Executing Manager Commands With Ant">Executing Manager Commands
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								With Ant</a> for more information.</li>
							 | 
						||

| 
								 | 
							
								    <blockquote><em>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <p>The description below uses the variable name $CATALINA_HOME
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    to refer to the directory into which you have installed Tomcat 6,
							 | 
						||

								 | 
							
								    and is the base directory against which most relative paths are

								 | 
							
								    resolved.  However, if you have configured Tomcat 6 for multiple
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    instances by setting a CATALINA_BASE directory, you should use
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    $CATALINA_BASE instead of $CATALINA_HOME for each of these
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |

								    </em></blockquote>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>It would be quite unsafe to ship Tomcat with default settings that allowed
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								anyone on the Internet to execute the Manager application on your server.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Therefore, the Manager application is shipped with the requirement that anyone
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								who attempts to use it must authenticate themselves, using a username and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								password that have the role <strong>manager</strong> associated with them.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Further, there is no username in the default users file
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								(<conf>$CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml</conf>) that is assigned this
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								role.  Therefore, access to the Manager application is completely disabled
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								by default.</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>To enable access to the Manager web application, you must either create
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								a new username/password combination and associate the role name
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<strong>manager</strong> with it, or add the <strong>manager</strong> role
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to some existing username/password combination.  Exactly where this is done
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								depends on which <code>Realm</code> implementation you are using:</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li><em>MemoryRealm</em> - If you have not customized your
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <code>$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml</code> to select a different one,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    Tomcat 6 defaults to an XML-format file stored at
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <code>$CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml</code>, which can be
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    edited with any text editor.  This file contains an XML
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    <code><user></code> for each individual user, which might
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    look something like this:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |

| 
								 |

								<h3>Deployment Notes</h3>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>If the Host is configured with unpackWARs=true and you deploy a war
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								file, the war will be unpacked into a directory in your Host appBase
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								directory.</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>If the application war or directory is installed in your Host appBase
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								directory and either the Host is configured with autoDeploy=true or
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								liveDeploy=true, the Context path must match the directory name or
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								war file name without the ".war" extension.</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>For security when untrusted users can manage web applications, the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Host deployXML flag can be set to false.  This prevents untrusted users
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								from deploying web applications using a configuration XML file and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								also prevents them from deploying application directories or ".war"
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								files located outside of their Host appBase.</p>

								<p>In addition to the ability to execute Manager commands via HTTP requests,

								<ul>

								<li>Download the binary distribution of Ant from

								    <a href="http://ant.apache.org">http://ant.apache.org</a>.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    You must use version <strong>1.4</strong> or later.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Install the Ant distribution in a convenient directory (called
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    ANT_HOME in the remainder of these instructions).</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Copy the file <code>server/lib/catalina-ant.jar</code> from your Tomcat 6
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    installation into Ant's library directory (<code>$ANT_HOME/lib</code>).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    </li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Add the <code>$ANT_HOME/bin</code> directory to your <code>PATH</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    environment variable.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Configure at least one username/password combination in your Tomcat

								more than once in the same Ant run, even if not intended to. A bit of caution should be exercised when you are

| 
								 | 
							
								<ul>

								Ant properties are immutable and once set they cannot be changed,

						||
|

								</li>
							 |

								 | 
							
								<li>when capturing in a file, each run will overwrite it and you will find in it only the <em>last</em> call

| 
								 | 
							
								output, unless you are using the <code>append="true"</code> attribute, in which case you will
							 |
