Adding Tomcat Catalina configuration for "privileged" applications
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFBIZ-2945
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2945
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: SVN trunk
            Reporter: Brett G. Palmer
             Fix For: SVN trunk


Out of the box Tomcat allows you to configure "privileged" applications by specifying the context as follows.  

<Context path="/manager" debug="0" privileged="true"
         docBase="/usr/local/kinetic/tomcat6/server/webapps/manager">
</Context>

Since OFBiz is an embedded version of Tomcat it does not currently include a similar configuration for privileged applications.

The Tomcat manager application is a "privileged" application that includes utilities for monitoring JMX resources such as thread counts, connections, and any other configured JMX parameter.  We use JMX with Hyperic to monitor our OFBiz servers

I'm including a patch of the following three files that will allow a user to configure a "privileged" application like Tomcat's manager to run as a regular ofbiz-component.

framework\base\src\org\ofbiz\base\component\ComponentConfig.java
framework\base\dtd\ofbiz-component.xsd
framework\catalina\src\org\ofbiz\catalina\container\CatalinaContainer.java


Here is an example configuration for the manager application with the attached patch.

<ofbiz-component name="manager"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.ofbiz.org/dtds/ofbiz-component.xsd">
    <resource-loader name="main" type="component"/>
       
    <!-- Example Application -->
    <webapp name="manager"
        title="Tomcat Manager"
        server="default-server"
        location="webapp/manager"
        mount-point="/manager"
        privileged="true"
        app-bar-display="false" />
       
</ofbiz-component>

Let me know if you have any questions.
