Tevor,
Not sure if I have much to add, so much as just clarifying what you are
asking. Its of interest to me also.
If you are using the tomcat-deployer app, then file
tomcat/webapps/your-webapp/META-INF/context.xml normally gets
deployed to tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/your-webapp.xml. I
realize that the tomcat/conf/context.xml specifies that
META-INF/context.xml is a watched resource and if changed it should
reload the webapp. But are you also expecting it to redeploy
META-INF/context.xml to conf/Catalina/localhost/your-webapp.xml ?? I
cannot see how that could happen.
OTOH, this may just reflect my rather narrow use of Tomcat 5.x - always
using tomcat-deployer to deploy my applications. Maybe someone else that
know more can comment and we will both learn a bit.
HTH - Richard

Subject: Tomcat 5.5.7 webapp not reload after META-INF/context.xml
change
Hi,
I have an unpacked ROOT webapp and if I change the
web.xml for it, the webapp gets reloaded. However if I
change the META-INF/context.xml for it, it doesn't get
reloaded. It's a WatchedResource too like web.xml. All
I'm doing is changing a context-param value in
context.xml (as a trivial example to explain my
issue).
When I change context.xml, I get this in the log:
Feb 13, 2005 6:11:39 PM
org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig checkResources
INFO: Reloading context []
So it looks like it should be reloaded, but it
doesn't.
In:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
There is:
snip
WatchedResource - The auto deployer will monitor the
specified static resource of the web application for
updates, and will reload the web application if is is
updated. The content of this element must be a string.
/snip
So I'm not dreaming.
I've also tried restaring the webapp with the manager
webapp and still no change.
Anyone else have the same issue? Am I doing something
wrong? Otherwise I'm going to enter it as a bug.
thanks,
Trev
