Hi,
I use parallel deployment, so I set *autoDeploy=true* to enable newer
versions of webapps as as soon as they are deployed, but if I edit
*conf/context.xml*, I'd like that Tomcat 7.0.62 did not restart
automatically.
Is it possible?
Just a comment from a not-Tomcat-developer :
According to a comment in the file (tomcat_dir)/conf/context.xml :
<!-- The contents of this file will be loaded for each web application -->
and it seems that this very file, is telling Tomcat which webapp resource to watch for
changes, in relation to the applications that may need to be reloaded/restarted :
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
So to me, it does make sense, if someone changes conf/context.xml, to restart the whole
Tomcat, to take into account such a possible change to the very thing that controls the
detection of a change in all applications.
Which is probably the basic reason why it is so. No ?
A further question would be : what is the "use case" for modifying the global
conf/context.xml while Tomcat is running ?
