(Internal) Tomcat Plugin
The Tomcat plug-in, org.eclipse.tomcat, is an internal implementation of
an application server implementing the org.eclipse.help.IAppServer interface.
A typical plug-in that defines a web application can register this web application
using the org.eclipse.help.AppServer class, and it will be run using the Tomcat
engine contained in this plugin.In general, these web applications can also
access the workbench environment, so servlets can call eclipse API's.
Preferences
The following preference settings can be used with the Tomcat plugin:
- port: the port number on which Tomcat listens for http requests. If the port is 0 and arbitrary
port is picked by the system.
- host: the host address or name to use for connecting to tomcat. The default is nothing, and
eclipse will pick up an available local address.
