Initially, Tomcat had just enough to implement the requirements of the specification, so it was unusable in practice (users were supposed to use another client, such as Tyrus which is now donated to Jakarta - feels nice to talk again about "Sun" donating software to Jakarta :D ). Gradually, missing items are implemented (as users didn't understand they really had to use something else and using the Tomcat client was not mandatory, it seems), but since this is not part of the specification, the config is all proprietary.
