Tomcat Manager Configuration

This tutorial shows how to configure the tomcat manager application that can be used to administrate Tomcat. We will also show how to enable the default user and password and how to grant the roles required to run the manager application.
The Tomcat Manager is a very powerful tool for Tomcat administration. It allows you to use the following features:

  • Remote application deployment 
  • Cleanup of Idle session
  • Application undeployment and redeployment
  • Analysis of memory leaks
  • JVM status
  • Server status

The Tomcat Manager by default is disabled in Tomcat 7. In order to enable it, pickup the tomcat-users.xml in the conf folder of Tomcat 7. This file contains two users: tomcat and role1. These roles however are not enabled to use the manager gui, as you need an user with the "manager-gui" roles. So change the file so that it look like this:

<tomcat-users>
 

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="manager-gui"/>
 
</tomcat-users>

Logging into the Manager with the default username and password

So now with the above changes, you will be able to login into Tomcat Manager application with Tomcat manager-gui user name and password that is tomcat/s3cret.



Through this console, we can deploy new applications or modify the current application's state to stop, undeploy, start, reload, clear sessions, and so on as displayed by the following picture:

Checking Tomcat Status


One interesting feature of Tomcat Manager is the ability to inspect the the current status of the server by clicking on the Server Status, as shown in the following picture:

The server status UI will show the following details:

  • JVM status (Max memory, Total memory, Free memory)
  • Connection of AJP port 8009  (Connection state, Data sent, Data received, Client, Virtual host)
  • Connection on HTTP port 8080 (Connection state, Data sent, Data received, Client, Virtual host)
  • Server information (Tomcat version, OS version, JVM version, System architecture)

Tomcat maxThreads configuration

Tomcat maxThreads represents the maximum number of request processing threads to be created by the HTTPConnector. < Connector port= " 8443 " protocol= " org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol " maxThreads= " 250 " SSLEnabled= " true " scheme= " https " secure= " true " clientAuth= " false " sslProtocol= " TLS " connectiontimeout= " 20000 " /> This determines the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. If not specified, this attribute is set to the default value of 200. How the process works: At server startup, the HTTP Connector will create a number of processing threads based on the value configured for the minSpareThreads attribute. Each incoming request requires a thread for the duration of that request. If the number of simultaneous requests cannot be handled by the currently available request processing threads, additio

Tomcat Websocket example

A WebSocket is a full-duplex communication mechanism that allows both textual and binary messages to be sent between clients and servers, without the HTTP request/response life cycle. WebSockets allow either the client or the server to send a message at any time, providing an asynchronous solution for working with data while the user is performing a task. Websockets API are included in Tomcat 7 Web server distribution so you don't have to download any extra library: In this tutorial we will show how to create a WebSocket example using Apache Tomcat and Eclipse. Start by creating on Eclipse a new Dynamic project named websocket-example : We will now create a server side class named WebSocketDemo that is going to echo messages from a Javascript client: package com . sample ; import java . io . IOException ; import java . nio . ByteBuffer ; import javax . websocket . OnMessage ; import javax . websocket . Session ; import javax . websocket . server . ServerEndp

Tomcat session listener example

As part of Servlet 2.3 specification, we can now make use of session creation and destruction events. Our listener object will be called every time a session is created or destroyed by the server. You can use two interfaces as listener for your Session: HttpSessionListener triggers the listener when a new session is created or destroyed HttpSessionBindingListener triggers the listener when an Object is bound/unbound from the Session HttpSessionListener example: package com.sample; import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener; import javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionEvent; public class SessionCounter implements HttpSessionListener { private static int activeSessions = 0; public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se) { activeSessions++; } public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) { if(activeSessions > 0) activeSessions--; } public static int getActiveSessions() { return activeSessions; } } As you can see, all you have to do is implementing two meth
