<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>&lt;ResourceLink&gt;</code> elements
nested in a <code>&lt;Context&gt;</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>
</ul>
<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_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]</code> folder. Here is an
example:</p>
<pre>
&lt;Context
docBase="/usr/local/tomcat6/webapps/manager"
antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" useHttpOnly="true"&gt;
&lt;Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
allow="127\.0\.0\.1" /&gt;
&lt;/Context&gt;
</pre>
<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 <strong>Manager</strong> web application.</p>
<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>
</ul>

<blockquote>
<p><em>The description below uses the variable name $CATALINA_BASE to refer the
base directory against which most relative paths are resolved. If you have
not configured Tomcat 6 for multiple instances by setting a CATALINA_BASE
directory, then $CATALINA_BASE will be set to the value of $CATALINA_HOME,
the directory into which you have installed Tomcat 6.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>It would be quite unsafe to ship Tomcat with default settings that allowed
anyone on the Internet to execute the Manager application on your server.
Therefore, the Manager application is shipped with the requirement that anyone
who attempts to use it must authenticate themselves, using a username and
password that have the appropriate role associated with them.
Further, there is no username in the default users file
(<code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/tomcat-users.xml</code>) that is assigned an
appropriate 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 one of the manager roles with
it, or add a manager role to some existing username/password combination. There
are four roles defined by the manager application:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>manager-gui</em> - Allows access to the html interface</li>
<li><em>manager-script</em> - Allows access to the plain text interface</li>
<li><em>manager-jmx</em> - Allows access to the JMX proxy interface</li>
<li><em>manager-status</em> - Allows access to the read-only status pages</li>
</ul>
<p>The manager application is configured to use the CSRF prevention filter. For
this filter to be effective, any user assigned the <code>manager-gui</code> role
must not be assigned the <code>manager-script</code> nor the
<code>manager-jmx</code> roles.</p>
<p>Exactly where roles are associated to users depends on which
<code>Realm</code> implementation you are using:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>MemoryRealm</em> - If you have not customized your
<code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml</code> to select a different one,
Tomcat 6 defaults to an XML-format file stored at
<code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/tomcat-users.xml</code>, which can be
edited with any text editor. This file contains an XML
<code>&lt;user&gt;</code> for each individual user, which might
look something like this:
<div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre>

which defines the username and password used by this individual to
log on, and the role names he or she is associated with. You can
add a role, e.g. <strong>manager-gui</strong>, to the comma-delimited
<code>roles</code> attribute for one or more existing users, and/or
create new users with that assigned role.</li>
<li><em>JDBCRealm</em> - Your user and role information is stored in
a database accessed via JDBC. Add the required role(s) to one or more
existing users, and/or create one or more new users with the required
role(s) assigned, following the standard procedures for your
environment.</li>
<li><em>JNDIRealm</em> - Your user and role information is stored in
a directory server accessed via LDAP. Add the required role(s) to one or
more existing users, and/or create one or more new users with the required
role(s) assigned, following the standard procedures for your
environment.</li>
</ul>
<p>The first time you attempt to issue one of the Manager commands
described in the next section, you will be challenged to log on using
BASIC authentication. The username and password you enter do not matter,
as long as they identify a valid user in the users database who possesses
the appropriate role.</p>
<p>In addition to the password restrictions the manager web application
could be restricted by the remote IP address or host by adding a
<code>RemoteAddrValve</code> or <code>RemoteHostValve</code>. Here is
an example of restricting access to the localhost by IP address:</p>
<pre>
&lt;Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" useHttpOnly="true"&gt;
&lt;Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
allow="127\.0\.0\.1"/&gt;
&lt;/Context&gt;

<p>where <code>{host}</code> and <code>{port}</code> represent the hostname

represents the Manager command you wish to execute, and
<code>{parameters}</code> represents the query parameters
that are specific to that command. In the illustrations below, customize
the host and port appropriately for your installation.</p>
<p>Most commands accept one or more of the following query parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>path</strong> - The context path (including the leading slash)
of the web application you are dealing with. To select the ROOT web
application, specify "/". <strong>NOTE</strong> -
It is not possible to perform administrative commands on the
Manager application itself.</li>
<li><strong>war</strong> - URL of a web application archive (WAR) file,
pathname of a directory which contains the web application, or a
Context configuration ".xml" file. You can use URLs in any of the
following formats:
<ul>
<li><strong>file:/absolute/path/to/a/directory</strong> - The absolute
path of a directory that contains the unpacked version of a web
application. This directory will be attached to the context path
you specify without any changes.</li>
<li><strong>file:/absolute/path/to/a/webapp.war</strong> - The absolute
path of a web application archive (WAR) file. This is valid
<strong>only</strong> for the <code>/deploy</code> command, and is
the only acceptable format to that command.</li>
<li><strong>jar:file:/absolute/path/to/a/warfile.war!/</strong> - The
URL to a local web application archive (WAR) file. You can use any
syntax that is valid for the <code>JarURLConnection</code> class
for reference to an entire JAR file.</li>
<li><strong>file:/absolute/path/to/a/context.xml</strong> - The
absolute path of a web application Context configuration ".xml"
file which contains the Context configuration element.</li>
<li><strong>directory</strong> - The directory name for the web
application context in the Host's application base directory.</li>
<li><strong>webapp.war</strong> - The name of a web application war file
located in the Host's application base directory.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>Each command will return a response in <code>text/plain</code> format
(i.e. plain ASCII with no HTML markup), making it easy for both humans and
programs to read). The first line of the response will begin with either
<code>OK</code> or <code>FAIL</code>, indicating whether the requested
command was successful or not. In the case of failure, the rest of the first
line will contain a description of the problem that was encountered. Some
commands include additional lines of information as described below.</p>
<p><em>Internationalization Note</em> - The Manager application looks up
its message strings in resource bundles, so it is possible that the strings
have been translated for your platform. The examples below show the English
version of the messages.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>WARNING:</strong> the legacy commands <code>/install</code> and
<code>/remove</code> are deprecated.
They are presently equivalent to <code>/deploy</code> and <code>/undeploy</code>,

<p>The context paths for all currently running web applications must be
unique. Therefore, you must undeploy the existing web
application using this context path, or choose a different context path

<li><em>Encountered exception</em>
<blockquote>
<p>An exception was encountered trying to start the new web application.
Check the Tomcat 6 logs for the details, but likely explanations include
problems parsing your <code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file, or missing

<h3>Deploy a Directory or WAR by URL</h3>
<p>Deploy a web application directory or ".war" file located on the Tomcat
server. If no <code>path</code> is specified, the directory name or the war file
name without the ".war" extension is used as the path. The <code>war</code>
parameter specifies a URL (including the <code>file:</code> scheme) for either
a directory or a web application archive (WAR) file. The supported syntax for
a URL referring to a WAR file is described on the Javadocs page for the
<code>java.net.JarURLConnection</code> class. Use only URLs that refer to
the entire WAR file.</p>
<p>In this example the web application located in the directory
<code>/path/to/foo</code> on the Tomcat server is deployed as the
web application context named <code>/footoo</code>.</p>

<h3>Deploy using a Context configuration ".xml" file</h3>
<p>If the Host deployXML flag is set to true you can deploy a web
application using a Context configuration ".xml" file and an optional
".war" file or web application directory. The context <code>path</code>
is not used when deploying a web application using a context ".xml"
configuration file.</p>
<p>A Context configuration ".xml" file can contain valid XML for a
web application Context just as if it were configured in your
Tomcat <code>server.xml</code> configuration file. Here is an
example:</p>

<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>
<h3>Deploy Response</h3>
<p>If installation and startup is successful, you will receive a response
like this:</p>
<div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre>

<p>Otherwise, the response will start with <code>FAIL</code> and include an
error message. Possible causes for problems include:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Application already exists at path /foo</em>
<blockquote>
<p>The context paths for all currently running web applications must be
unique. Therefore, you must undeploy the existing web
application using this context path, or choose a different context path
for the new one. The <code>update</code> parameter may be specified as
a parameter on the URL, with a value of <code>true</code> to avoid this
error. In that case, an undeploy will be performed on an existing
application before performing the deployment.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><em>Document base does not exist or is not a readable directory</em>
<blockquote>
<p>The URL specified by the <code>war</code> parameter must identify a
directory on this server that contains the "unpacked" version of a
web application, or the absolute URL of a web application archive (WAR)
file that contains this application. Correct the value specified by
the <code>war</code> parameter.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><em>Encountered exception</em>
<blockquote>
<p>An exception was encountered trying to start the new web application.
Check the Tomcat 6 logs for the details, but likely explanations include
problems parsing your <code>/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file, or missing
classes encountered when initializing application event listeners and
filters.</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><em>Invalid application URL was specified</em>
<blockquote>
<p>The URL for the directory or web application that you specified
was not valid. Such URLs must start with <code>file:</code>, and URLs
for a WAR file must end in ".war".</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><em>Invalid context path was specified</em>
<blockquote>
<p>The context path must start with a slash character. To reference the
ROOT web application use "/".</p>
</blockquote></li>
<li><em>Context path must match the directory or WAR file name:</em>
<blockquote>
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.
</blockquote></li>
<li><em>Only web applications in the Host web application directory can
be installed</em>
<blockquote>
If the Host deployXML flag is set to false this error will happen
if an attempt is made to deploy a web application directory or
".war" file outside of the Host appBase directory.
</blockquote></li>
</ul>

remove it from Tomcat (which also makes this context path available for

<p>The find leaks diagnostic attempts to identify web applications that have
caused memory leaks when they were stopped, reloaded or undeployed. Results
should always be confirmed
with a profiler. The diagnostic uses additional functionality provided by the
StandardHost implementation. It will not work if a custom host is used that
does not extend StandardHost.</p>

to be unreliable. Furthermore, depending on the JVM used, there are options to

<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

<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>

environment variable.</li>
<li>Configure at least one username/password combination in your Tomcat
user database that includes the <code>manager-script</code> role.</li>

<p>Note: The definition of the resources task above will override the resources
datatype added in Ant 1.7. If you wish to use the resources datatype you will
need to use Ant's namespace support to assign the Tomcat tasks to their own
namespace.</p>
<p>Now, you can execute commands like <code>ant deploy</code> to deploy the
application to a running instance of Tomcat, or <code>ant reload</code> to
tell Tomcat to reload it. Note also that most of the interesting values in
this <code>build.xml</code> file are defined as replaceable properties, so
you can override their values from the command line. For example, you might
consider it a security risk to include the real manager password in your
<code>build.xml</code> file's source code. To avoid this, omit the password
property, and specify it from the command line:</p>

<p><strong>WARNING:</strong> even if it doesn't make many sense, and is always a bad idea,
calling a Catalina task more than once,
badly set Ant tasks depends chains may cause that a task be called
more than once in the same Ant run, even if not intended to. A bit of caution should be exercised when you are
capturing output from that task, because this could lead to something unexpected:</p>
<ul>
<li>when capturing in a property you will find in it only the output from the <em>first</em> call, because
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
see the output of each task call appended to the file.

So you need to provide 3 request parameters:
<ol>
<li><code>set</code>: The full bean name</li>
<li><code>att</code>: The attribute you wish to alter</li>
<li><code>val</code>: The new value </li>
</ol>
If all goes ok, then it will say OK, otherwise an error message will be
shown. For example, lets say we wish to turn up debugging on the fly for the
<code>ErrorReportValve</code>. The following will set debugging to 10.
<div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre>

and my result is (YMMV):
<div align="left"><table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1" height="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#023264" width="1"><img src="./images/void.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" vspace="0" hspace="0" border="0"></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff" height="1"><pre>

Here is what I see if I pass in a bad value. Here is the URL I used,
I try set debugging equal to 'cow':
