Hi everyone. I thought I would circle back and answer my own question
from back in June 2020 (see message thread below).
The thing that creates objects from the server.xml configuration file is
the Digester
(https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/api/org/apache/tomcat/util/digester/Digester.html),
and it uses the processing rules described in the digester package
summary
(https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/api/org/apache/tomcat/util/digester/package-summary.html#doc.Rules).
Of particular note are the ObjectCreateRule
(https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/api/org/apache/tomcat/util/digester/ObjectCreateRule.html)
and the SetPropertiesRule
(https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/api/org/apache/tomcat/util/digester/SetPropertiesRule.html).
You can read more about my upgrading my Guise Mummy components to be
able to be used in Tomcat configuration files, as well as see related
code changes, at https://globalmentor.atlassian.net/browse/GUISE-150 .
Now that I have all this working, I won't be coding on Tomcat as often,
so I'm going to drop off this list for a while to cut down on my inbox
influx. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in ApacheCon last
year, and I hope the virtual event this year is a success. I enjoyed
meeting those of you I met in person, and if things go well maybe I'll
meet some of you again at an in-face conference in the future.
All the best and stay safe.

Hi, all. I'm getting close to releasing a new version of my Guise
Mummy static site generation software.
I gave a presentation over Guise Mummy's use of embedded Tomcat to
serve the generated site locally for testing before deployment. It
uses a custom site root and web resource
https://guise.io/mummy/present/clean-urls
Although in my use case I instantiation and connect these things
programmatically, someone in attendance (I think it was Remy, or maybe
Chris) mentioned that I could also reference the customized versions
in one of the configuration files and Tomcat would create the instance
graph automatically.
I want to make the library flexible, so in this version I'd like to
make sure that's possible. Could you remind me on the prerequisites
for this, and what documentation I could look at? Does it use JavaBean
conventions or some other conventions? (I assume I just need a
no-argument constructor and some getters/setters, but I want to
verify.) And in which Tomcat configuration would they go?
Thanks,
Garret
