JMX provides interface to manage and monitor Tomcat remotely (i.e. access Tomcat internals). We should investigate if JMX can be used to:

• shutdown or restart the instance
• deploy and undeploy a subsystem
• check subsystem deployment status

If that's the case, we should investigate the implementation:

• do we need to write custom MBeans?
• do we need to write a management client library?
• do we need to write a management CLI/UI?
• how do we configure the authentication/authorization?
