Managing Apache TomEE

Introduction

This topic describes managing Apache TomEE in combination with Process Platform. Many management tasks are common for any TomEE or Tomcat installation and are described briefly. Apache TomEE documentation is available at http://tomee.apache.org/documentation.html. Apache Tomcat documentation is available at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/index.html.

Log files

Process Platform issues log messages from the Web gateway and are logged in the file <Process_Platform_Installation_Directory>/Logs/Gateway.xml. TomEE also maintains log files. You can configure the location of these log files in the file $CATALINA_BASE/conf/logging.properties. The default location is $CATALINA_BASE/logs. For more information, see Logging in Tomcat.

JMX

Process Platform and TomEE support Managing Operations through Java Management Extensions (JMX). A JMX-capable management product can connect to TomEE to browse a tree of managed beans that are defined by TomEE and Process Platform.
As described in Configuring Apache TomEE, TomEE must run as a Linux daemon, Windows service, or under a dedicated user account, which makes it impossible to connect to JMX locally, so TomEE must be configured for remote JMX access. See Monitoring and Managing Tomcat / Enabling JMX Remote.
