rmaucher opened a new pull request, #1069: URL: https://github.com/apache/tomcat/pull/1069
This is a new more modern manager/admin webapp for Tomcat. The webapp is currently located in `modules/manager2`. This includes a testsuite. **What it is:** - A modern reactive webapp designed and implemented using OpenCode (with various models backing it up). It is meant to be tool maintained. - Scales down to phone layouts and meant to be used or partially packaged as an application later. - The UI is subject to subsequent changes, just like apps often get a fresh look once in a while. - A lot of the more complex backend code remains in the existing Manager servlet (webapp deployment and management) and StoreConfig (saving a configuration back to the server.xml storage). - Bring back the functionality of the Tomcat Admin webapp from Tomcat 5. **What it is not:** - A replacement for the tool endpoints (JMX scripting and deployment) provided by the existing legacy manager webapp. - A component that will be released independently and has to support N different Tomcat releases. (why: see Maven plugin) - A binary release. As a module, it will be source packaged in any future Tomcat 12-M release, but will not ship as a binary or anything. This can eventually move to the main source tree and be backported. Or not. Use `ant` to build, `ant deploy` to put it in the `output/build/webapps` of the main folder to be able to run it, and `ant test` to run the tests (which takes time, basically most of the tests use a different config, some test deployment, edit and save to server.xml, so it's hard to avoid it even if I wanted to). **Please keep PR review focused on essentials:** - If you do not like it and do not want to see it merged, please say so (preferably **before** it is merged :) ). I will not complain since this was basically an experiment. - Significant bugs or issues that **must** be addressed before merging. - There are a few changes to the Tomcat to make TLS configuration more flexible with add/remove of stuff. It is not strictly needed, so I can take it out. - I can rename the webapp. I named it "manager2", which works for me because it seemed like Manager Webapp 2.0 and it cannot fully replace the original one either. - Please don't review any single trivial defect, we can see about it after merging. The code will go through the usual review/fix cycles anyway. - It is Ant based (not Maven), but the directory layout was Maven inspired. I can fix it if needed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
