Well, one obvious thing you could do is restart tomcat: it takes about 10 s, but it works. If you use eclipse with the sysdeo plugin as your IDE (which I highly recommend), you can relead the project without a tomcat restart using a command from a project pop-up menu. If you don't use eclipse, I suggest you read up on the manager application that comes with tomcat as loading and unloading projects is it's responsibility.

If you set reloadable=true in your web-app context (see my previous post), tomcat should also recognize any changes to the WEB-INF folder and reload the webapp context automatically w/o taking down the whole server.

RE: Tomcat rookie needs help updating project
I thought Reloadable set to true will only work for JSPs? Will that allow classes to be reloaded as well ? What would trigger that? I'm trying to produce an inhouse solution to keep a large number of hosted linux server's tomcat web apps on the same code base. I figured I had to find a way to programmatically make tomcat restart the web app. No idea how yet, other than writing to web.xml to modify it or looking into tomcat API . Any ideas?

Re: Tomcat rookie needs help updating project
Hey Neil, I believe you can also send a url string to the manager application which will cause the webapp to reload: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/manager-howto.html jc On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 11:52:05 -0500, Neil Upfalow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I thought Reloadable set to true will only work for JSPs?

Re: Tomcat rookie needs help updating project
I thought Reloadable set to true will only work for JSPs? Will that allow classes to be reloaded as well ? What would trigger that? Hmm .. I may be delerious, but I feel like when reloadable=true, the context gets reloaded whenever something 'changes' in the WEB-INF dir .. let's see ... got this from the docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/context.html (Tomcat 4, but I'm a bit lazy to go to tommcat 5, and I can't imagine it changing too much) reloadable: Set to true if you want Catalina to monitor classes in /WEB-INF/classes/ and /WEB-INF/lib for changes, and automatically reload the web application if a change is detected. This feature is very useful during application development, but it requires significant runtime overhead and is not recommended for use on deployed production applications. You can use the Manager web application, however, to trigger reloads of deployed applications on demand. I figured I had to find a way to programmatically make tomcat restart the web app. No idea how yet, other than writing to web.xml to modify it or looking into tomcat API . Hmm .. nothing ingenious .. what if use some lo-tech style of a shell script that justs request the correct url to reload a particular webapp context ... The Eclipse sysdeo plugin has a way of telling a context to reload ... might be something to look into. -steve - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
