5 Manager Web Application

The managerweb application provides the management functions for all web

applications in the NSJSP container. In prior releases, the management functions were

provided using the nsjsp_manager (an interactive shell script). The nsjsp_manager

is no longer supported. The manager web application replaces nsjsp_manager and

provides the same functionality.

NSJSP uses the nsjspadmin ServerClass to handle all the web application

management front-end functions. Figure 5-1 shows the nsjspadmin ServerClass that

receives a manager request and broadcasts the corresponding command to every

server processes in the servlet ServerClass after it has done its processing.

Accessing the manager Web Application

The NSJSP web application manager is accessed using the following URIs:

/manager URI (http://<host-name>:<port-number>/manager)

Security Constraints

By default, the access control to /manager differs from access controls to the admin

web application so that the manager web application can be managed separately. The

default authorization constraint assigned to the manager web application is manager.

You can change the security constraints by modifying the manager web application's

deployment descriptor.
