Gary, I suggest this feature should be tranparant for developer like changes in JSP when developer have just save the file. Currently, We are able to change java code right in debug mode and those changes will apply immediately. >From this perspective, the requirement to reload the configuration file sounds like a big disadvantage. I think, the remote command might make sense for the production, but not for the design-time environment.

It seems like struts had the same feature in the early releases allowing an action to reload the struts-confg files. I'm positive that someone listening here could tell us the history and why the decision was made to remove it. > > We might be able to do this with a Shale remote command.
