Configure bundled Tomcat Manager

[dheelus]

Hi,
Is there a way to access the bundled Tomcat manager in JBoss 4.0.2? I have tried multiple ways, but I get an exception.
Please help.

Thanks.
Neel.

Do you want the Manager webapp or the implementation of the Manager interface (which is used to manage sessions for the webapp)?

[dheelus]

To be precise, I need to be able to deploy the org.apache.catalina.manager.ManagerServlet so that I can leverage the ant build tasks specified in catalina-ant.jar, like deploy/undeploy, etc. via the ANT tool.

I am unable to deploy this servlet, so I cannot use ANT for performing these tasks. If I can do something similar using some jboss specific ANT utility, that would also serve my purpose.

dheelus,

With Tomcat bundled with JBoss, you deploy to JBoss not Tomcat. Then JBoss does the deployment into Tomcat container. So if your ant script just copies your war/ear int $YOUR_SERVER/deploy that's all she wrote.
