public class ManagerServlet
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
implements ContainerServlet

Servlet that enables remote management of the web applications installed within the same virtual host as this web application is. Normally, this functionality will be protected by a security constraint in the web application deployment descriptor. However, this requirement can be relaxed during testing.

This servlet examines the value returned by `getPathInfo()` and related query parameters to determine what action is being requested. The following actions and parameters (starting after the servlet path) are supported:

- /install?config={config-url} - Install and start a new web application, based on the contents of the context configuration file found at the specified URL. The `docBase` attribute of the context configuration file is used to locate the actual WAR or directory containing the application.
- /install?config={config-url}&war={war-url}/ - Install and start a new web application, based on the contents of the context configuration file found at `{config-url}`, overriding the `docBase` attribute with the contents of the web application archive found at `{war-url}`.
- /install?path=/xxx&war={war-url} - Install and start a new web application attached to context path `/xxx`, based on the contents of the web application archive found at the specified URL.
- /list - List the context paths of all currently installed web applications for this virtual host. Each context will be listed with the following format `path:status:sessions`. Where path is the context path. Status is either running or stopped. Sessions is the number of active Sessions.
- /reload?path=/xxx - Reload the Java classes and resources for the application at the specified path, but do not reread the web.xml configuration files.
- /remove?path=/xxx - Shutdown and remove the web application attached to context path `/xxx` for this virtual host.
- /resources?type=xxxx - Enumerate the available global JNDI resources, optionally limited to those of the specified type (fully qualified Java class name), if available.
- /roles - Enumerate the available security role names and descriptions from the user database connected to the `users` resource reference.
- /serverinfo - Display system OS and JVM properties.
- /sessions?path=/xxx - List session information about the web application attached to context path `/xxx` for this virtual host.
- /start?path=/xxx - Start the web application attached to context path `/xxx` for this virtual host.
- /stop?path=/xxx - Stop the web application attached to context path `/xxx` for this virtual host.
- /undeploy?path=/xxx - Shutdown and remove the web application attached to context path `/xxx` for this virtual host, and remove the underlying WAR file or document base directory. (NOTE - This is only allowed if the WAR file or document base is stored in the `appBase` directory of this host, typically as a result of being placed there via the `/deploy` command.

Use `path=/` for the ROOT context.

The syntax of the URL for a web application archive must conform to one of the following patterns to be successfully deployed:

- file:/absolute/path/to/a/directory - You can specify the absolute path of a directory that contains the unpacked version of a web application. This directory will be attached to the context path you specify without any changes.
- jar:file:/absolute/path/to/a/warfile.war!/ - You can specify a URL to a local web application archive file. The syntax must conform to the rules specified by the `JarURLConnection` class for a reference to an entire JAR file.
- jar:http://hostname:port/path/to/a/warfile.war!/ - You can specify a URL to a remote (HTTP-accessible) web application archive file. The syntax must conform to the rules specified by the `JarURLConnection` class for a reference to an entire JAR file.

NOTE - Attempting to reload or remove the application containing this servlet itself will not succeed. Therefore, this servlet should generally be deployed as a separate web application within the virtual host to be managed.

NOTE - For security reasons, this application will not operate when accessed via the invoker servlet. You must explicitly map this servlet with a servlet mapping, and you will always want to protect it with appropriate security constraints as well.

The following servlet initialization parameters are recognized:

- debug - The debugging detail level that controls the amount of information that is logged by this servlet. Default is zero.
