## org.apache.catalina
Class ServerFactory

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.catalina.ServerFactory

    public class ServerFactory

extends java.lang.Object

ServerFactory allows the registration of the (singleton) `Server` instance for this JVM, so that it can be accessed independently of any existing reference to the component hierarchy. This is important for administration tools that are built around the internal component implementation classes.
