Re: delaying context reload
Cindy, If this is a problem for you, turn reloading off in your context.xml and use the manager app's Reload command instead. This command can be executed either through hitting a URL, using the manager html pages, or (best) through an Ant command. Doing this means the reload only happens when you request it. It's a standard way to do things. Alternately, change the interval at which reload checks happen (I don't use this, so I don't know where this is set). If you double the reload check time, you should halve the number of time you have the problem (and double the average wait for a reload). In short, use the manager. :) justin At 09:23 AM 3/16/2004, you wrote: At 08:00 PM 3/15/04 -0500, Christopher Schultz wrote: Run Plugin:c:\eudora\attach\Re delaying context reload.ems 0880.0002 Hi Chris, No, I'm not using Ant (yeah, yeah, I know I should...)

delaying context reload
I like Tomcat's ability to reload a context when a change is made to one of my application's classes, but I'm having a problem with it reloading before the class has finished compiling. Is there a way to delay the reloading until all the files are ready? I'm using Tomcat 4.1.24 Thanks Cindy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there a way to delay the reloading until all the files are ready? I highly recommend doing all your compilation in a 'local' directory and then using a tool like ant (I hope you're already using ant!) to copy all the updated files. This allows you to attempt a compile without disturbing a running server. (For example, if some of your files compile, but others don't you could disable your server -- even if it is only a test server). Generally, the copy will take less time that the compile ;) Hope that helps, -chris signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: delaying context reload
Tim, So what do you suggest in the case of copying a war file that takes 15 seconds to copy? That's a good question. I have a couple of thoughts: 1) When does the date of the inode get set -- at the beginning of the copy or at the end 2) Isn't there a way to set the time interval used to check for updates? 3) If you're hot-deploying WAR files, shouldn't you be using the Tomcat deployment tool instead of just copying it in there? ;) (I don't know anything about Tomcat's WAR deployment -- I use ant to war and unwar my apps to do hot deployment.) -chris signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
