This package contains a set of Task
implementations for
Ant (version 1.6.x or later) that can be used to interact with the
Manager application to deploy, undeploy, list, reload, start and stop web applications
from a running instance of Tomcat. For more information, see
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html.
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:
Attribute
Description
url
The URL of the Manager web application you will use to
perform the requested operations. If not specified, defaults to
http://localhost:8080/manager/text
(which corresponds
to a standard installation of Tomcat 7).
username
The username of a Tomcat user that has been configured with the
manager-script
role, as required to execute Manager
application commands. This attribute is required.
password
The password of a Tomcat user that has been configured with the
manager-script
role, as required to execute Manager
application commands. This attribute is required.
config
A URL pointing at the context configuration file (i.e. a file
containing only the <Context>
element, and
its nested elements, from server.xml
for a particular
web application). This attribute is supported only on the
install
target, and is required only if you wish to
install an application with non-default configuration characteristics.
path
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
install
, reload
, remove
,
start
, and stop
tasks only, and is
required in all of those cases.
war
A jar:
URL that points at a web application archive (WAR)
file, or a file:
URL that points at an unpacked directory
containing the web application. This attribute is supported only on
the install
target. You must specify at least one of the
config
and war
attributes; if you specify
both, the war
attribute overrides the docBase
attribute in the context configuration file.
NOTE - Commands executed through the Manager
application are NOT reflected in updates to the Tomcat
server.xml
configuration file, so they do not persist past the
next time you restart the entire Tomcat container.
