I installed this and took a look at it. Looking much better. :-)
Here are some more suggestions for improvement.
1. Change the title to "Tomcat Web Application Manager".
2. Move the Message: table to just below the page title.
3. Only enable the Start/Stop/Reload links based on the status of
the web application. i.e. A web application that is currently
stopped can only be started or removed.
4. Include the hostname and port somewhere, perhaps below the title.
5. Add Help/Documentation for the different options.
6. There are some features of the manager which are not available
/manager/resources /manager/roles /manager/sessions.
Regards,
Glenn
