    <p>The purpose of this specification is to define high level requirements
    for administrative applications that can be used to manage the operation
    of a running Tomcat 6 container.  A variety of <em>Access Methods</em>
    to the supported administrative functionality shall be supported, to
    meet varying requirements:</p>
    <ul>
    <li><em>As A Scriptable Web Application</em> - The existing
        <code>Manager</code> web application provides a simple HTTP-based
        interface for managing Tomcat through commands that are expressed
        entirely through a request URI.  This is useful in environments
        where you wish to script administrative commands with tools that
        can generate HTTP transactions.</li>
    <li><em>As An HTML-Based Web Application</em> - Use an HTML presentation
        to provide a GUI-like user interface for humans to interact with the
        administrative capabilities.</li>
    <li><em>As SOAP-Based Web Services</em> - The operational commands to
        administer Tomcat are made available as web services that utilize
        SOAP message formats.</li>
    <li><em>As Java Management Extensions (JMX) Commands</em> - The operational
        commands to administer Tomcat are made available through JMX APIs,
        for integration into management consoles that utilize them.</li>
    <li><em>Other Remote Access APIs</em> - Other remote access APIs, such
        as JINI, RMI, and CORBA can also be utilized to access administrative
        capabilities.</li>
    </ul>

    <p>Underlying all of the access methods described above, it is assumed
    that the actual operations are performed either directly on the
    corresponding Catalina components (such as calling the
    <code>Deployer.deploy()</code> method to deploy a new web application),
    or through a "business logic" layer that can be shared across all of the
    access methods.  This approach minimizes the cost of adding new
    administrative capabilities later -- it is only necessary to add the
    corresponding business logic function, and then write adapters to it for
    all desired access methods.</p>

    <p>The current status of this functional specification is
    <strong>PROPOSED</strong>.  It has not yet been discussed and
    agreed to on the TOMCAT-DEV mailing list.</p>

    <p>The implementation of this functionality shall conform to the
    following requirements:</p>
    <ul>
    <li>To the maximum extent feasible, all administrative functions,
        and the access methods that support them, shall run portably
        on all platforms where Tomcat 6 itself runs.</li>
    <li>In a default Tomcat distribution, all administrative capabilities
        shall be disabled.  It shall be necessary for a system
        administrator to specifically enable the desired access methods
        (such as by adding a username/password with a specific role to
        the Tomcat user's database.</li>
    <li>Administrative functions shall be realized as direct calls to
        corresponding Catalina APIs, or through a business logic layer
        that is independent of the access method used to initiate it.</li>
    <li>The common business logic components shall be implemented in
        package <code>org.apache.catalina.admin</code>.</li>
    <li>The common business logic components shall be built as part of the
        standard Catalina build process, and made visible in the
        Catalina class loader.</li>
    <li>The Java components required for each access method shall be
        implemented in subpackages of <code>org.apache.catalina.admin</code>.
        </li>
    <li>The build scripts should treat each access method as optional,
        so that it will be built only if the corresponding required
        APIs are present at build time.</li>
    <li>It shall be possible to save the configured state of the running
        Tomcat container such that this state can be reproduced when the
        container is shut down and restarted.</li>
    <li>Adminstrative commands to start up and shut down the overall
        Tomcat container are <strong>out of scope</strong> for the
        purposes of these applications.  It is assumed that other
        (usually platform-specific) mechanisms will be used for container
        startup and shutdown.</li>

  <p>Functional requirements for administrative applications are specified
  in terms of <em>Administered Objects</em>, whose definitions and detailed
  properties are listed <a href="fs-admin-objects.html">here</a>.  In general,
  Administered Objects correspond to components in the Catalina architecture,
  but these objects are defined separately here for the following reasons:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>It is possible that the administrative applications do not expose
      every possible configurable facet of the underlying components.</li>
  <li>In some cases, an Administered Object (from the perspective of an
      administrative operation) is realized by more than one Catalina
      component, at a finer-grained level of detail.</li>
  <li>It is necessary to represent the configuration information for a
      component separately from the component itself (for instance, in
      order to store that configuration information for later use).</li>
  <li>It is necessary to represent configuration information (such as
      a Default Context) when there is no corresponding component instance.
      </li>
  <li>Administered Objects, when realized as Java classes, will include
      methods for administrative operations that have no correspondence
      to operations performed by the corresponding actual components.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the overall component
  architecture of Catalina.  For further information, see the corresponding
  Developer Documentation.  To distinguish names that are used as both
  <em>Administered Objects</em> and <code>Components</code>, different
  font presentations are utilized.  Default values for many properties
  are listed in [square brackets].</p>

  of a particular Administered Object (and will most likely be realized as
  method calls on the corresponding Administered Object classes), so they
  are organized based on the currently "focused" administered object.
