Tomcat Configuration Management

Administrators often need an efficient way of modifying configurations (e.g., changing server.xml or JAVA_OPTS) across multiple Apache Tomcat instances at once. Tcat Server provides an easy way to view the configuration files on a remote Tomcat instance, modify the configuration files and publish them back to the remote instance.

For ensuring consistency of the configuration across multiple instances, Tcat Server provides a way to create configuration profiles — a set of configuration files that can be applied to multiple Tomcat instances at once. For example, if you need to push out a common set of drivers and configuration files to multiple Tomcat instances that will run an application, you can create a profile for that application that includes the files that need to be pushed out, and the profile can be applied to the target server group where the application is to be deployed. This powerful configuration management makes ensuring consistency of configuration across server instances an easy task.

In addition to configuration files, administrators can also view and modify the environment variables on the machine where Tomcat is running (e.g., JAVA_OPTS, CATALINA_BASE, etc.). Tcat Server's remote restart capabilities allow the administrator to easily enforce those changes immediately by restarting those remote instances centrally from the console.
