I would like to give some test application users ability to start & restart
the tomcat server but not the entire admin / manager interface.
Actually this is possible in linux at least, though be very wary... one
can shell out of java and call things using nohup with run in the
background (trailing &) or use setsid(), after that the new process is
not connected to tomcat so it could restart tomcat. I have done this
and it works, though it's more academic and I wouldn't recommend writing
things like that :)

possible to configure this?
I am told that when the application (jsp/servelet code) changes, tomcat has
to restart to clear the old cache. Is it true?
My tomcat version is 5.5.23
thanks, vm

Subject: tomcat administration
I have a new installation of tomcat on centos. My $CATALINA_HOME is
/usr/share/tomcat5 and tomcat is running.
Care to tell us the *exact* version of Tomcat you installed? And how you
installed it? (Is it a 3rd-party repackaged version, or a real one from
tomcat.apache.org?)
http://localhost:8080 brings up the tomcat page & one of the option is
"Administration".
That looks like it comes from a defunct 5.0.x version, which has not been
supported for quite some time now. Install a current Tomcat from
tomcat.apache.org and try again.
I would like to use this web interface and even give
some of the test webapp users ability to restart tomcat.
That's not going to happen, at least not via internal manipulation of
Tomcat.
