Class Embedded

java.lang.Object
  extended byorg.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded
All Implemented Interfaces:
Lifecycle

public class Embedded
extends java.lang.Object
implements Lifecycle

Convenience class to embed a Catalina servlet container environment inside another application. You must call the methods of this class in the following order to ensure correct operation.

After normal operations have begun, you can add and remove Connectors, Engines, Hosts, and Contexts on the fly. However, once you have removed a particular component, it must be thrown away -- you can create a new one with the same characteristics if you merely want to do a restart.

To initiate a normal shutdown, call the stop() method of this object.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: The main() method of this class is a simple example that exercizes the features of dynamically starting and stopping various components. You can execute this by executing the following steps (on a Unix platform):

   cd $CATALINA_HOME
   ./bin/catalina.sh embedded
