All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Servlet, ServletConfig, Serializable, ContainerServlet`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `HTMLManagerServlet`

public class ManagerServlet extends HttpServlet implements ContainerServlet
Servlet that enables remote management of the web applications installed within the same virtual host as this web application is. Normally, this functionality will be protected by a security constraint in the web application deployment descriptor. However, this requirement can be relaxed during testing.

This servlet examines the value returned by `getPathInfo()` and related query parameters to determine what action is being requested. The following actions and parameters (starting after the servlet path) are supported:

- /deploy?config={config-url} - Install and start a new web application, based on the contents of the context configuration file found at the specified URL. The `docBase` attribute of the context configuration file is used to locate the actual WAR or directory containing the application.
- /deploy?config={config-url}&war={war-url}/ - Install and start a new web application, based on the contents of the context configuration file found at `{config-url}`, overriding the `docBase` attribute with the contents of the web application archive found at `{war-url}`.
- /deploy?path=/xxx&war={war-url} - Install and start a new web application attached to context path `/xxx`, based on the contents of the web application archive found at the specified URL.
- /list - List the context paths of all currently installed web applications for this virtual host. Each context will be listed with the following format `path:status:sessions`. Where path is the context path. Status is either running or stopped. Sessions is the number of active Sessions.
- /reload?path=/xxx - Reload the Java classes and resources for the application at the specified path.
- /resources?type=xxxx - Enumerate the available global JNDI resources, optionally limited to those of the specified type (fully qualified Java class name), if available.
- /serverinfo - Display system OS and JVM properties.
- /sessions - Deprecated. Use expire.
- /expire?path=/xxx - List session idle time information about the web application attached to context path `/xxx` for this virtual host.
- /expire?path=/xxx&idle=mm - Expire sessions for the context path `/xxx` which were idle for at least mm minutes.
- /sslConnectorCiphers - Display diagnostic info on SSL/TLS ciphers that are currently configured for each connector.
- /start?path=/xxx - Start the web application attached to context path `/xxx` for this virtual host.
- /stop?path=/xxx - Stop the web application attached to context path `/xxx` for this virtual host.
- /threaddump - Write a JVM thread dump.
- /undeploy?path=/xxx - Shutdown and remove the web application attached to context path `/xxx` for this virtual host, and remove the underlying WAR file or document base directory. (NOTE - This is only allowed if the WAR file or document base is stored in the `appBase` directory of this host, typically as a result of being placed there via the `/deploy` command.
- /vminfo - Write some VM info.
- /save - Save the current server configuration to server.xml
- /save?path=/xxx - Save the context configuration for the web application deployed with path `/xxx` to an appropriately named context.xml file in the `xmlBase` for the associated Host.

Use `path=/` for the ROOT context.

The syntax of the URL for a web application archive must conform to one of the following patterns to be successfully deployed:

- file:/absolute/path/to/a/directory - You can specify the absolute path of a directory that contains the unpacked version of a web application. This directory will be attached to the context path you specify without any changes.

NOTE - Attempting to reload or remove the application containing this servlet itself will not succeed. Therefore, this servlet should generally be deployed as a separate web application within the virtual host to be managed.

The following servlet initialization parameters are recognized:

- debug - The debugging detail level that controls the amount of information that is logged by this servlet. Default is zero.

  - ### destroy

    public void destroy()
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.GenericServlet`
    Called by the servlet container to indicate to a servlet that the servlet is being taken out of service. See `Servlet.destroy()`.
    Specified by:
      `destroy` in interface `Servlet`
    Overrides:
      `destroy` in class `GenericServlet`

  - ### doGet

    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServlet`
    Called by the server (via the `service` method) to allow a servlet to handle a GET request.

    Overriding this method to support a GET request also automatically supports an HTTP HEAD request. A HEAD request is a GET request that returns no body in the response, only the request header fields.

    When overriding this method, read the request data, write the response headers, get the response's Writer or output stream object, and finally, write the response data. It's best to include content type and encoding. When using a `PrintWriter` object to return the response, set the content type before accessing the `PrintWriter` object.

    The servlet container must write the headers before committing the response, because in HTTP the headers must be sent before the response body.

    Where possible, set the Content-Length header (with the `ServletResponse.setContentLength(int)` method), to allow the servlet container to use a persistent connection to return its response to the client, improving performance. The content length is automatically set if the entire response fits inside the response buffer.

    When using HTTP 1.1 chunked encoding (which means that the response has a Transfer-Encoding header), do not set the Content-Length header.

    The GET method should be safe, that is, without any side effects for which users are held responsible. For example, most form queries have no side effects. If a client request is intended to change stored data, the request should use some other HTTP method.

    The GET method should also be idempotent, meaning that it can be safely repeated. Sometimes making a method safe also makes it idempotent. For example, repeating queries is both safe and idempotent, but buying a product online or modifying data is neither safe nor idempotent.

    If the request is incorrectly formatted, `doGet` returns an HTTP "Bad Request" message.

    Overrides:
      `doGet` in class `HttpServlet`
    Parameters:
      `request` - an `HttpServletRequest` object that contains the request the client has made of the servlet
      `response` - an `HttpServletResponse` object that contains the response the servlet sends to the client
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an input or output error is detected when the servlet handles the GET request
      `ServletException` - if the request for the GET could not be handled
    See Also:
      - `ServletResponse.setContentType(String)`

  - ### doPut

    public void doPut(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServlet`
    Called by the server (via the `service` method) to allow a servlet to handle a PUT request. The PUT operation allows a client to place a file on the server and is similar to sending a file by FTP.

    When overriding this method, leave intact any content headers sent with the request (including Content-Length, Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding, Content-Encoding, Content-Base, Content-Language, Content-Location, Content-MD5, and Content-Range). If your method cannot handle a content header, it must issue an error message (HTTP 501 - Not Implemented) and discard the request. For more information on HTTP 1.1, see RFC 2616 .

    This method does not need to be either safe or idempotent. Operations that `doPut` performs can have side effects for which the user can be held accountable. When using this method, it may be useful to save a copy of the affected URL in temporary storage.

    If the HTTP PUT request is incorrectly formatted, `doPut` returns an HTTP "Bad Request" message.

    Overrides:
      `doPut` in class `HttpServlet`
    Parameters:
      `request` - the `HttpServletRequest` object that contains the request the client made of the servlet
      `response` - the `HttpServletResponse` object that contains the response the servlet returns to the client
    Throws:
      `IOException` - if an input or output error occurs while the servlet is handling the PUT request
      `ServletException` - if the request for the PUT cannot be handled

  - ### init

    public void init() throws ServletException
    Description copied from class: `jakarta.servlet.GenericServlet`
    A convenience method which can be overridden so that there's no need to call `super.init(config)`.

    Instead of overriding `GenericServlet.init(ServletConfig)`, simply override this method and it will be called by `GenericServlet.init(ServletConfig config)`. The `ServletConfig` object can still be retrieved via `GenericServlet.getServletConfig()`.

    Overrides:
      `init` in class `GenericServlet`
    Throws:
      `ServletException` - if an exception occurs that interrupts the servlet's normal operation
