how to - programmatically - authenticate oneself as Tomcat manager?

[Jerry Miernik <jm...@cisco.com>]

  The question is related to undeploying a webapplication
  from a Java code. A connection to tomcat manager using
  ....
  URL tomcatMgr = 
    new URL("http://localhost:8080/manager/undeploy?path=/any");
  URLConnection tmc = tomcatMgr.openConnection(); 
  ....

  results in:
  java.io.IOException:Server returned HTTP response code: 401

  The questions:
  1. Is there a way to deliver - programmatically - username 
     and password for the undeploy to take effect?

  2. Could the username and password be parameters in the
     undeploy request? Or an earlier request? 

  3. This Java program is trying to undeploy itself, inside
     a jspInit() method. Is this technically possible? 
     (do not see why not, except for the problem with user
      name and password).

  Thanks,
  Jerry.
