55the following is displayed:</p>
56<ul>

58 <li><strong>Display Name</strong> - The display name for the web application
59 if it has one configured in its "web.xml" file.</li>

61 available (true), or not running and unavailable (false).</li>
62 <li><strong>Sessions</strong> - The number of active sessions for remote
63 users of this web application. The number of sessions is a link which
64 when submitted displays more details about session usage by the web
65 application in the Message box.</li>
66 <li><strong>Commands</strong> - Lists all commands which can be performed on
67 the web application. Only those commands which can be performed will be
68 listed as a link which can be submitted. No commands can be performed on
69 the manager web application itself. The following commands can be
70 performed:
71 <ul>
72 <li><strong>Start</strong> - Start a web application which had been
73 stopped.</li>
74 <li><strong>Stop</strong> - Stop a web application which is currently
75 running and make it unavailable.</li>

282This command is the logical opposite of the <em>Undeploy</em> command.</p>
283
284<p>There are a number of different ways the deploy command can be used.</p>
285
286<h3>Deploy a Directory or WAR by URL</h3>
287
288<p>Install a web application directory or ".war" file located on the Tomcat
289server. If no <i>Context Path</i> is specified, the directory name or the
290war file name without the ".war" extension is used as the path. The
291<i>WAR or Directory URL</i> specifies a URL (including the <code>file:</code>
292scheme) for either a directory or a web application archive (WAR) file. The
293supported syntax for a URL referring to a WAR file is described on the Javadocs
294page for the <code>java.net.JarURLConnection</code> class. Use only URLs that
295refer to the entire WAR file.</p>
296
297<p>In this example the web application located in the directory
298<code>C:\path\to\foo</code> on the Tomcat server (running on Windows)
299is deployed as the web application context named <code>/footoo</code>.</p>

306<p>In this example the ".war" file <code>/path/to/bar.war</code> on the
307Tomcat server (running on Unix) is deployed as the web application
308context named <code>/bar</code>. Notice that there is no <code>path</code>
309parameter so the context path defaults to the name of the web application
310archive file without the ".war" extension.</p>

316<h3>Deploy a Directory or War from the Host appBase</h3>
317
318<p>Install a web application directory or ".war" file located in your Host
319appBase directory. If no <i>Context Path</i> is specified the directory name
320or the war file name without the ".war" extension is used as the path.</p>
321
322<p>In this example the web application located in a subdirectory named
323<code>foo</code> in the Host appBase directory of the Tomcat server is
324deployed as the web application context named <code>/foo</code>. Notice
325that there is no <code>path</code> parameter so the context path defaults
326to the name of the web application directory.</p>

341<h3>Deploy using a Context configuration ".xml" file</h3>
342
343<p>If the Host deployXML flag is set to true, you can install a web
344application using a Context configuration ".xml" file and an optional
345".war" file or web application directory. The <i>Context Path</i>
346is not used when installing a web application using a context ".xml"
347configuration file.</p>
348
349<p>A Context configuration ".xml" file can contain valid XML for a
350web application Context just as if it were configured in your
351Tomcat <code>server.xml</code> configuration file. Here is an
352example for Tomcat running on Windows:</p>
353<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>

364<p>Use of the <i>WAR or Directory URL</i> is optional. When used
365to select a web application ".war" file or directory it overrides any
366docBase configured in the context configuration ".xml" file.</p>

514
515<p>The find leaks diagnostic attempts to identify web applications that have
516caused memory leaks when they were stopped, reloaded or undeployed. Results
517should always be confirmed
518with a profiler. The diagnostic uses additional functionality provided by the
519StandardHost implementation. It will not work if a custom host is used that
520does not extend StandardHost.</p>
521
522<p>This diagnostic will list context paths for the web applications that were
523stopped, reloaded or undeployed, but which classes from the previous runs
524are still present in memory, thus being a memory leak. If an application
525has been reloaded several times, it may be listed several times.</p>
526
527<p>Explicitly triggering a full garbage collection from Java code is documented
528to be unreliable. Furthermore, depending on the JVM used, there are options to
529disable explicit GC triggering, like <code>-XX:+DisableExplicitGC</code>.
530If you want to make sure, that the diagnostics were successfully running a full GC,
531you will need to check using tools like GC logging, JConsole or similar.</p>
