Server (Apache Tomcat 11.0.21 API Documentation)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.catalina, interface: Server

# Interface Server

All Superinterfaces:
  `Lifecycle`

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `StandardServer`

public interface Server extends Lifecycle
A `Server` element represents the entire Catalina servlet container. Its attributes represent the characteristics of the servlet container as a whole. A `Server` may contain one or more `Services`, and the top level set of naming resources.

Normally, an implementation of this interface will also implement `Lifecycle`, such that when the `start()` and `stop()` methods are called, all of the defined `Services` are also started or stopped.

In between, the implementation must open a server socket on the port number specified by the `port` property. When a connection is accepted, the first line is read and compared with the specified shutdown command. If the command matches, shutdown of the server is initiated.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getGlobalNamingResources

    NamingResourcesImpl getGlobalNamingResources()
    Returns:
      the global naming resources.

  - ### setGlobalNamingResources

    void setGlobalNamingResources(NamingResourcesImpl globalNamingResources)
    Set the global naming resources.
    Parameters:
      `globalNamingResources` - The new global naming resources

  - ### getGlobalNamingContext

    Context getGlobalNamingContext()
    Returns:
      the global naming resources context.

  - ### getPort

    int getPort()
    Returns:
      the port number we listen to for shutdown commands.
    See Also:
      - `getPortOffset()`
      - `getPortWithOffset()`

  - ### setPort

    void setPort(int port)
    Set the port number we listen to for shutdown commands.
    Parameters:
      `port` - The new port number
    See Also:
      - `setPortOffset(int)`

  - ### getPortOffset

    int getPortOffset()
    Get the number that offsets the port used for shutdown commands. For example, if port is 8005, and portOffset is 1000, the server listens at 9005.
    Returns:
      the port offset

  - ### setPortOffset

    void setPortOffset(int portOffset)
    Set the number that offsets the server port used for shutdown commands. For example, if port is 8005, and you set portOffset to 1000, connector listens at 9005.
    Parameters:
      `portOffset` - sets the port offset

  - ### getPortWithOffset

    int getPortWithOffset()
    Get the actual port on which server is listening for the shutdown commands. If you do not set port offset, port is returned. If you set port offset, port offset + port is returned.
    Returns:
      the port with offset

  - ### getAddress

    String getAddress()
    Returns:
      the address on which we listen to for shutdown commands.

  - ### setAddress
