There are a lot of command line tools that can send the basic auth headers expected by the manager. Curl and wget come to mind. You could also use a java program with the commons httpclient project easily enough.
You could send the url in a browser address bar easily enough as well, although you'll be promted for credentials. See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html for details on sending commands to the manager webapp. --David Yusuf wrote: >Thanks for your reply Mark > >Would that be possible by entering a url in a browser address bar? > >Or should I use something like Jakarta's HTTPClient or some such API? > >Thanks > > >Mark Thomas-11 wrote: > > >>Yusuf wrote: >> >> >>>Hi >>> >>>I have a Tomcat server running on one machine with one webapp loaded.
