| |
| <p>This package contains a set of <code>Task</code> implementations for |
| <em>Ant (version 1.4 or later)</em> that can be used to interact with the |
| Manager application to install, reload, and remove web applications from |
| a running instance of Tomcat. For more information, see |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/manager-howto.html"> |
| http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/manager-howto.html</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>The attributes of each task element correspond |
| exactly to the request parameters that are included with an HTTP request |
| sent directly to the Manager application. They are summarized as follows: |
| </p> |
| |
| <table> |
| <tr> |
| <th align="center" width="15%">Attribute</th> |
| <th align="center" width="85%">Description</th> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td align="center">url</td> |
| <td> |
| The URL of the Manager web application you will use to |
| perform the requested operations. If not specified, defaults to |
| <code>http://localhost:8080/manager</code> (which corresponds |
| to a standard installation of Tomcat 5). |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td align="center">username</td> |
| <td> |
| The username of a Tomcat user that has been configured with the |
| <code>manager</code> role, as required to execute Manager |
| application commands. This attribute is required. |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td align="center">password</td> |
| <td> |
| The password of a Tomcat user that has been configured with the |
| <code>manager</code> role, as required to execute Manager |
| application commands. This attribute is required. |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td align="center">config</td> |
| <td> |
| A URL pointing at the context configuration file (i.e. a file |
| containing only the <code><Context></code> element, and |
| its nested elements, from <code>server.xml</code> for a particular |
| web application). This attribute is supported only on the |
| <code>install</code> target, and is required only if you wish to |
| install an application with non-default configuration characteristics. |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td align="center">path</td> |
| <td> |
| The context path (including the leading slash) of the web application |
| this command is intended to manage, or a zero-length string for the |
| ROOT web application. This attribute is valid for the |
| <code>install</code>, <code>reload</code>, <code>remove</code>, |
| <code>start</code>, and <code>stop</code> tasks only, and is |
| required in all of those cases. |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td align="center">war</td> |
| <td> |
| A <code>jar:</code> URL that points at a web application archive (WAR) |
| file, or a <code>file:</code> URL that points at an unpacked directory |
| containing the web application. This attribute is supported only on |
| the <code>install</code> target. You must specify at least one of the |
| <code>config</code> and <code>war</code> attributes; if you specify |
| both, the <code>war</code> attribute overrides the <code>docBase</code> |
| attribute in the context configuration file. |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| |
| <p><strong>NOTE</strong> - Commands executed through the <em>Manager</em> |
| application are <strong>NOT</strong> reflected in updates to the Tomcat |
| <code>server.xml</code> configuration file, so they do not persist past the |
| next time you restart the entire Tomcat container.</p> |
