Hello,
Sorry to disturb the list with this question, but I have been looking for the answer online. I know that I can control the Tomcat Manager using text or JMX. http://10.60.28.90:8081/manager/text/list will provide me a list of web services and some status. I read the sections on JMX, but I do not have a clue on the operations. To quote the Tomcat 7.0 documentation, "For you to really understand the JMX Proxy Servlet, you should have a general understanding of JMX. If you don't know what JMX is, then prepare to be confused." My goal is to be able to start, stop and restart web services programmatically. I know that I could send http packets in a stream to the web server, but I feel that web sites are for user interaction. I would like to have some type of API. Thank you in advance for any advice and guidance. FWIW: I am a fairly new JAVA developer, and I am even more of a novice with web services and Tomcat.
