Test and experience of using Tomcat's Manager feature

Experiments and experiences using Tomcat4 Manager feature. A) Enable Manager function. When testing Struts, modify the struts-config.xml file and you need to restart Tomcat for testing. Every time I feel very trouble, I suddenly remembered the Manager function of the previously used Tomcat, which can be easily launched, stop, restart, removal, etc., but can save the trouble of recurring the entire container server. Enter Address: http: // localhost: 8080 / manager / html total prompt no permissions. Open the Server / WebApps / Manager directory, did not see the JSP, servlet file. Doesn't find the corresponding management servlet. It should define the web.xml file definition. The system is used: org.apache.catalina.servlets.htmlManagerServlet, this class is in the J2EE.jar package. Under Server / WebApps / Manager / Web-INF / LIB, restart Tomcat. Discovery message: Because servlet.class in J2EE.jar includes servelet 2.3, Tomcat is not loaded JAR. Open this file with WinRAR and delete the servlet directory. Restart Tomcat, or you can't use the Manage function. There is no way, hard my scalp looks its E text help document. It turns out that the role of the management is needed in the conf / tomcat-users.xml file. Add a line to the XML file, is authorized to ROOT. Restart, everything OK. It can be used to manage the management function of Tomcat, which is very convenient. You can try it. 2) Manage use experience. In fact, this experience is when I used, I used notes. Everyone is interested, you can read it first, have a problem with me.
