Thanks, no I haven't dropped REST, as an alternative. if the manager command for deploy using http put will work then that might be a shortcut. But my desire for WSDL/SOAP is because it will then work with BPEL process flows and has better error handling and fits with our JMS AND ESB clients...

Thanks, no its not about single sign on, its about automation via web services. I want the operations that are associated with /manager to be wrapped in WSDL/SOAP so I can automate via SOAP/BPEL the process of deploying new war files to multiple instances of Tomcat. If someone has done this with

Thanks, The URI commands don't quite cut it. As I stated I want to deploy a new war file. The use of HttpClient to connect and send commands is one thing but to use these commands requires all files to already exist on the server to be referenced by the command. I want to deploy a new war file

Color me crazy, but I'm working on a WSDL project now and ... well ... yuck. Sorry .. just had to get that out of my system. :-) The services offered by manager should work for what you want. The link below is for tomcat 6, but there are equivalents for whatever version you are working with: h

Thanks Martin, I would imagine that the manager application wrapped in a web services implementation would have no less security than the manager/html application, and therefore be no more vulnerable than /manager/html would be. At any rate, all our tomcats in our server farm are firewalled and

Hmmm, I am not looking for the contents of /manager either in HTML or XML. The "manager" application you access at /manager/html can perform "operations" like start, stop, deploy, undeploy, check status, etc. out of the box I can setup a manager role and grant that to a user, login as that user

there are different approaches based on your security needs if you open your TC webapps you will subject yourself to Man-in-the-middle attacks which would be time-consuming to detect and quite costly to your business have you thought of an alternative approach perhaps some other Secure front end

I may be misunderstanding, wasn't the OP asking for a way to connect to all those different managers without separate logins? Sort of like a single-signon for the the managers? Or can the current manager do such a thing across multiple Tomcats? Ken On May 27, 2009, at 12:45 PM, Mark Tho
