| 6 | <p>This documentation area includes <em>functional specifications</em> for |
|---|
| 7 | many features supported by the <strong>Catalina</strong> servlet container |
|---|
| 8 | portion of Tomcat 6. In most cases, these features are not documented in the |
|---|
| 9 | underlying Servlet or JSP specifications, so a definition of the expected |
|---|
| 10 | correct behavior is important both to implementors of those features, and to |
|---|
| 11 | test writers trying to decide what to test.</p> |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | <p>The functional specifications are divided into the following categories |
|---|
| 14 | in the menu (to the left):</p> |
|---|
| 15 | <ul> |
|---|
| 16 | <li><em>Administrative Apps</em> - Overall requirements for supporting an |
|---|
| 17 | ability to configure and operate a Tomcat 6 installation through tools, |
|---|
| 18 | as well as detailed requirements for the tools themselves.</li> |
|---|
| 19 | <li><em>Internal Servlets</em> - Requirements for Catalina features that are |
|---|
| 20 | implemented as internal, container-managed, servlets.</li> |
|---|
| 21 | <li><em>Realm Implementations</em> - Requirements for the implementations of |
|---|
| 22 | the <code>org.apache.catalina.Realm</code> interface (providing access to |
|---|
| 23 | collections of users, passwords and roles) that are included in the |
|---|
| 24 | standard Tomcat 6 distribution.</li> |
|---|
| 25 | </ul> |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | <p><em>NOTE</em> - In some cases, the contents of these functional specs has |
|---|
| 28 | been "reverse engineered" from existing implementations. This exercise is |
|---|
| 29 | stil useful, because it provides an introduction to <strong>what</strong> |
|---|
| 30 | Catalina does, without being as concerned with <strong>how</strong> this is |
|---|
| 31 | accomplished.</p> |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | <p><strong>TODO</strong> - Obviously, this area has a long ways to go before |
|---|
| 34 | it is complete. Contributions are welcome!</p> |
