Tomcat has an admin application that allows for webapp load/unloading.
Look in the tomcat docs that came with your install.
Please be aware that doing this always causes a memory leak.
I never did this reloading in a production environment, we would usually
have multiple instances of an app server and patch one, restart each
one. Because we have multiple instances running, we never had downtime,
although users did lose their session data.

Hi ofbizians
we are trying to set up hot deploying for our jars, has anybody done
this ?
is it possible to get Tomcat reload jars dynamically after compile
like he
usually does when set up as a external server(not included in the
applications jar) ?
we've tried playing around with the shared folder, and some of the
catalina
configurations...but without success.
Best Regards
Thx
