Hi, Thanks for your response. I am aware of the activeSessions attribute under "Catalina:type=Manager,path=/testapp,host=localhost". I am actually doing this programmatically and would like to know of an Mbean that would tell me if the application is available. The activeSessions attribute can sometimes report 0 even when the application is available so it is not reliable.
