Documentation

tomcatjs

nodejs-based Tomcat Manager client library

tomcatjs is a simple library that interfaces with Tomcat Manager to allow programmatic access to its API via Nodejs JavaScript. Tested only with Tomcat7

Install

npm install tomcatjs --save

Usage

First of all, initialize the Manager object:

var tomcatjs = require("tomcatjs");

var manager = new tomcatjs.Manager("localhost", 8080, "tomcatManagerUser", "tomcatManagerPassword");

Right now only two APIs are implemented, list and undeploy. To obtain a list of apps currently in Tomcat:

manager.getApps().then(function(list) {
	//this will print all apps in the server
	list.forEach(function(st) {
		console.log(st);
	})


});

To undeploy an app:

manager.undeploy("appNameToUndeploy").then(function(applicationName) {
	console.log(applicationName + " has been undeployed!");
}, function(err) {
	console.log("error undeploying app: " + err);
})

Building

tomcatjs is developed in TypeScript, which compiles to JavaScript to be able to publish it as a npm module. In order to build tomcatjs, clone the repository and then install the following global dependencies:

npm install gulp -g
npm install typescript -g
npm install tsd -g

Once you have the above, execute in the repository folder:

npm install

... which will install all the development dependencies. To build the project:

gulp build

This will output the JavaScript npm package to the ./dist folder
