I want to have full access and control of tomcat to make my life simple for development. I am aware of the roles 'admin' and 'manager' and know there are a few more with hyphens such as 'manager-gui' but where can I find a comprehensive list with descriptions of the available roles? I can't even find a partial list in the documentation so anything close would be helpful.
The Tomcat admin roles allow access to the HTML GUI and text interfaces of the Host Manager application, and the manager roles allow access to the HTML GUI, text interface, JMX proxy, and status pages of the Manager application. Restricted operator administration access.
The two most important configuration files to get Tomcat up and running are called server. xml and web. xml. By default, these files are located at TOMCAT-HOME/conf/server.
In a nutshell, the Tomcat Manager App is a web application that is packaged with the Tomcat server and provides us with the basic functionality we need to manage our deployed web applications. As we're going to see, the application has many features and services.
Administration console for Tomcat The administration console is the entry point for Tcat's application provisioning capabilities, deep performance monitoring and diagnostics of your Tomcat applications, for managing configuration of Tomcat instances and for remote control of these instances.
The admin and manager roles no longer exist in Tomcat 7+ and have been replaced by more specific roles.
