Bug ID: 58530
Summary: Proposal for new Manager HTML GUI
Product: Tomcat 9
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: ognjen.d.blagoje...@gmail.com

Proposed design
I'm not very happy with Tomcat Manager GUI, so I tried to make something
different, using Tomcat website layout. The result is in the attachment. Just
unpack to empty folder and open manager.html. That is a static HTML page.
In order to remove clutter, instead of English words, I used icons for Manager
commands (start, stop...). I used Famfamfam Silk icons [1]. Silk icons are
distributed under CC-BY 2.5/3.0 License, which is recently categorized as
"category B" license [2], so it is safe to include them in Tomcat, to my
understanding.
I like how Silk audio icons (play, stop, repeat, etc.) fit Manager commands
(start, stop, reload, etc.). One good reason for using audio icons is that they
come out-of-the box in both active (blue) and inactive (greyed) versions. I
also used scissors icon for session expiration. Is this a bit of a stretch?
I also changed the order of deployment options: first the client war
deployment, and then directory or server war deployment. Most of the people I
know deploy wars from client, but if others think that directory / server war
deployment is used more often, I can switch back their places.
What do you think?
