Interface Summary |
| Authenticator |
An Authenticator is a component (usually a Valve or Container) that
provides some sort of authentication service. |
| Cluster |
A Cluster works as a Cluster client/server for the local host
Different Cluster implementations can be used to support different
ways to communicate within the Cluster. |
| Contained |
Decoupling interface which specifies that an implementing class is
associated with at most one Container instance. |
| Container |
A Container is an object that can execute requests received from
a client, and return responses based on those requests. |
| ContainerListener |
Interface defining a listener for significant Container generated events.
|
| ContainerServlet |
A ContainerServlet is a servlet that has access to Catalina
internal functionality, and is loaded from the Catalina class loader
instead of the web application class loader. |
| Context |
A Context is a Container that represents a servlet context, and
therefore an individual web application, in the Catalina servlet engine.
|
| Engine |
An Engine is a Container that represents the entire Catalina servlet
engine. |
| Group |
Abstract representation of a group of Users in a
UserDatabase. |
| Host |
A Host is a Container that represents a virtual host in the
Catalina servlet engine. |
| InstanceListener |
Interface defining a listener for significant events related to a
specific servlet instance, rather than to the Wrapper component that
is managing that instance. |
| Lifecycle |
Common interface for component life cycle methods. |
| LifecycleListener |
Interface defining a listener for significant events (including "component
start" and "component stop" generated by a component that implements the
Lifecycle interface. |
| Loader |
A Loader represents a Java ClassLoader implementation that can
be used by a Container to load class files (within a repository associated
with the Loader) that are designed to be reloaded upon request, as well as
a mechanism to detect whether changes have occurred in the underlying
repository.
|
| Manager |
A Manager manages the pool of Sessions that are associated with a
particular Container. |
| Pipeline |
Interface describing a collection of Valves that should be executed
in sequence when the invoke() method is invoked. |
| Realm |
A Realm is a read-only facade for an underlying security realm
used to authenticate individual users, and identify the security roles
associated with those users. |
| Role |
Abstract representation of a security role, suitable for use in
environments like JAAS that want to deal with Principals. |
| Server |
A Server element represents the entire Catalina
servlet container. |
| Service |
A Service is a group of one or more
Connectors that share a single Container
to process their incoming requests. |
| Session |
A Session is the Catalina-internal facade for an
HttpSession that is used to maintain state information
between requests for a particular user of a web application. |
| SessionListener |
Interface defining a listener for significant Session generated events. |
| Store |
A Store is the abstraction of a Catalina component that provides
persistent storage and loading of Sessions and their associated user data.
|
| User |
Abstract representation of a user in a UserDatabase. |
| UserDatabase |
Abstract representation of a database of Users and
Groups that can be maintained by an application,
along with definitions of corresponding Roles, and
referenced by a Realm for authentication and access control. |
| Valve |
A Valve is a request processing component associated with a
particular Container. |
| Wrapper |
A Wrapper is a Container that represents an individual servlet
definition from the deployment descriptor of the web application. |
|
Class Summary |
| ContainerEvent |
General event for notifying listeners of significant changes on a Container. |
| Globals |
Global constants that are applicable to multiple packages within Catalina. |
| InstanceEvent |
General event for notifying listeners of significant events related to
a specific instance of a Servlet, or a specific instance of a Filter,
as opposed to the Wrapper component that manages it. |
| LifecycleEvent |
General event for notifying listeners of significant changes on a component
that implements the Lifecycle interface. |
| ServerFactory |
ServerFactory allows the registration of the
(singleton) Server instance for this JVM, so that it
can be accessed independently of any existing reference to the
component hierarchy. |
| SessionEvent |
General event for notifying listeners of significant changes on a Session. |
