| <p>This documentation area includes <em>functional specifications</em> for | |
| many features supported by the <strong>Catalina</strong> servlet container | |
| portion of Tomcat 6. In most cases, these features are not documented in the | |
| underlying Servlet or JSP specifications, so a definition of the expected | |
| correct behavior is important both to implementors of those features, and to | |
| test writers trying to decide what to test.</p> | |
| <p>The functional specifications are divided into the following categories | |
| in the menu (to the left):</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><em>Administrative Apps</em> - Overall requirements for supporting an | |
| ability to configure and operate a Tomcat 6 installation through tools, | |
| as well as detailed requirements for the tools themselves.</li> | |
| <li><em>Internal Servlets</em> - Requirements for Catalina features that are | |
| implemented as internal, container-managed, servlets.</li> | |
| <li><em>Realm Implementations</em> - Requirements for the implementations of | |
| the <code>org.apache.catalina.Realm</code> interface (providing access to | |
| collections of users, passwords and roles) that are included in the | |
| standard Tomcat 6 distribution.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p><em>NOTE</em> - In some cases, the contents of these functional specs has | |
| been "reverse engineered" from existing implementations. This exercise is | |
| still useful, because it provides an introduction to <strong>what</strong> | |
| Catalina does, without being as concerned with <strong>how</strong> this is | |
| accomplished.</p> | |
| <p><strong>TODO</strong> - Obviously, this area has a long ways to go before | |
| it is complete. Contributions are welcome!</p> | |
