## 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.

  NOTE - The concrete implementation of this class should register the (singleton) instance with the `ServerFactory` class in its constructor(s).
