Configuring the Tomcat Enabler

The following topics describe how to set up Silver Fabric to run Tomcat applications.

  • Running Tomcat Applications in Standalone Mode
    The following procedure describes how to run a Tomcat component in standalone mode. In this mode, Silver Fabric engines run individual self-contained servers that do not communicate with each other. On activation, the engine deploys archives contained in the component to the server.
  • Running Clustered Tomcat Applications
    You can configure Silver Fabric to run with multiple Tomcat Partitions (clusters). In this configuration, engines running a Tomcat J2EE component act as nodes in a cluster. Membership in a particular cluster is determined by a node’s CLUSTER_MCAST_ADDR and CLUSTER_MCAST_PORT. The cluster name provided while creating a component using the Component Wizard is provided as a system property to the Tomcat process and is the name used in the cluster.xml file. Naming is a convenience to the administrator, but does not determine cluster membership.
  • Configuring SSL for Tomcat Components
  • Configuring HTTP/2 Support
  • About Archive Management
    The Tomcat enabler can dynamically manage the set of application archives that are deployed and running on Tomcat servers. This consists of archive detection, context URL detection, archive scaling, and continuous deployment operations.
  • About Using the Tomcat Manager
    Tomcat distribution includes manager web application.
