Tomcat Admin Web Interface
Hello All,
In response to the recent postings regarding Tomcat
documentation and administration (Re: ~rant~ Docs,
user list, etc.), I am willing to contribute much
effort in this area. In addition to documentation, I
am particularly interested in helping to build an
administrative web interface for Tomcat 4.0, something
similar to JRun Management Console, for example.
Naturally, I want to coordinate my efforts with the
Tomcat community. Can anyone please point out where I
should begin, or who I should contact? Is there a
project for this? The Catalina TODO identifies John
Shin as volunteer for producing an admin interface,
but I thought I should email this list before
contacting him directly.
Thanks,
Matt

Sounds good. Have you considered using SOAP to implement Tomcat admin
transactions?

Exactly what I had hoped for, Craig. I'll keep an eye on the list. Thanks!

He volunteered long, long, ago but I haven't heard anything from him
lately.
As it happens, I've been accumulating a list of functional requirements
for admin capabilities that I'd like to post for discussion. I'll be
finished with what I'm thinking in the next couple of days.
What I'd like to see us do on issues like this is to discuss and agree on
a functional specs document that is checked in to the CVS repository, and
then start working together on the pieces. It's a little more formal than
the usual :-) open source approach, but I think it will help in the long
run. Does that sound like a useful plan?
