Configuring Tomcat

The Java^TM Web Services Tutorial

Configuring Tomcat

As you can see in Figure A-1, admintool presents a hierarchy of elements that can be configured to customize the Tomcat JSP/Servlet container to your needs. The Server element represents the characteristics of the entire JSP/Servlet container.

Setting Server Properties

Select Tomcat Server in the left pane. The Server Properties display in the right pane. The Server element represents the entire JSP/Servlet container. The server properties are shown in Table A-2.

Table A-2 Server Properties
Property
Description

Port Number
The TCP/IP port number on which this server waits for a shutdown command. This connection must be initiated from the same server computer that is running this instance of Tomcat. The default value is 8005. Values less than 1024 will generate a warning, as special software capabilities are required when using this port

Debug Level
The level of debugging detail logged by this server. Higher numbers generate more detailed output. If not specified, the default debugging detail level is zero (0).

Shutdown
The command string that must be received via a TCP/IP connection to the specified port number in order to shut down Tomcat. The value for this property must contain at least 6 characters. The default value is SHUTDOWN.
