    Persisted Configuration

    Changes to the Tomcat Server are persisted, meaning the changes are applied immediately and survive Tomcat restarts!  Adding a user or role, updating a password, changing deploy options on Virtual hosts, all persisted.

     

    Virtual Host Management

    The plugin offers full support for Tomcat virtual hosts so that applications can be deployed with different request paths but managed under one tree.  Virtual host options can be configured individually.

     

    Web Application Management

    Web applications offer a full slate of management and monitoring options.

     

    • Control operations
    • Deploy/Undeploy
      • Content managemen
