Running the Web Application Manager

The manager is itself a Web application that is preinstalled into Tomcat, so Tomcat must be running in order to use it. You invoke a manager command via one of the URLs listed in Table B-1.

Table B-1 Tomcat Web Application Manager Commands

Function	Command
list	http://<host>:8080/manager/list
install	http://<host>:8080/manager/install?   path=/mywebapp&   war=file:/path/to/mywebapp   http://<host>:8080/manager/install?   path=/mywebapp&   war=jar:file:/path/to/mywebapp.war!/
reload	http://<host>:8080/manager/reload?path=/mywebapp
remove	http://<host>:8080/manager/remove?path=/mywebapp

Since the manager pages are protected Web resources, the first time you invoke a manager command, an authentication dialog will appear. You must log in to the manager with the user name and password you provided when you installed the Java WSDP.

The document Manager App HOW-TO, distributed with the Java WSDP at <JWSDP_HOME>/docs/tomcat/manager-howto.html, contains reference information about the manager application.

There is also a GUI for the manager application. It is accessed via the URL http://<host>:8080/manager/html. As shown in Figure B-1, when you first start Tomcat, the manager application displays all the Web applications distributed with the Java WSDP.
