Description Konstantin Kolinko 2014-11-26 13:54:08 UTC 
The ManagerServlet in manager web application supports command "/save", which is undocumented neither in manager-howto.html, nor listed in javadoc of ManagerServlet.

There is no documentation of StoreConfigLifecycleListener in
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/listeners.html

The "/save" command itself is rather old (it is present in Tomcat 6 code and likely in 5.5 as well), but the storeconfig feature was missing from Tomcat 6 and 7 and was re-introduced in Tomcat 8 (r1442161). It needs documentation.

Sorry if it naive question, but i have error "FAIL - Encountered exception javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: Catalina:type=StoreConfig" when call command "/save".
When I debug, I found that programm cant pass StandartServer.storeContext() method. What can you  advise me?

Fixed in trunk and 8.0.x for 8.0.16 onwards.
