The Server Component
Table of Contents
Introduction
A Server element represents the entire Catalina
servlet container. Therefore, it must be the single outermost element
in the conf/server.xml configuration file. Its attributes
represent the characteristics of the servlet container as a whole.
Attributes
Common Attributes
All implementations of Server support the following attributes:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
className |
Java class name of the implementation to use. This class must
implement the |
address |
The TCP/IP address on which this server waits for a shutdown
command. If no address is specified, |
port |
The TCP/IP port number on which this server waits for a shutdown
command. Set to Note: Disabling the shutdown port works well when Tomcat is started using Apache Commons Daemon (running as a service on Windows or with jsvc on un*xes). It cannot be used when running Tomcat with the standard shell scripts though, as it will prevent shutdown.bat|.sh and catalina.bat|.sh from stopping it gracefully. |
shutdown |
The command string that must be received via a TCP/IP connection to the specified port number, in order to shut down Tomcat. |
Standard Implementation
The standard implementation of Server is org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer. It supports the following additional attributes (in addition to the common attributes listed above):
