reloading, 5.0, context.xml
I'm running a 5.0 of some vintage. I'm currently in a developing phase where I need reloading. It is cumbersome to restart the server for every little source change. I've read through the archived messages and find that reloading = false is the default in 5.x. And that one had to set reloadable=true in context.xml. Seems like there was no context.xml with the 5.0 release I got. Where should I put the statement? Should I create a context.xml? Should I do it in server.xml? Or in the respective web.xml? Also in this phase I don't want to do an upgrade to anything current. So I need a quick help how to enable reloading. Thank you. -- Chris Christoph P. U.

RE: reloading, 5.0, context.xml
You should do this ... Create a file called mywebapp.xml (matching your webapp's name of course) and whack it in tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost In that file Context path= docBase=/mywebapp reloadable=true / Note this is for 5.0.x NOT 5.5.x which removes the path attribute. Restart. -Original Message- From: Christoph Kukulies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 December 2004 11:21 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: reloading, 5.0, context.xml I'm running a 5.0 of some vintage.

RE: reloading, 5.0, context.xml
Hi, Unfortunately the leading / on docBase is misleading and not likely what you want: it implies an absolute path, i.e. /servlets on your file system. You probably want just servlets relative to your appBase, i.e. $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/servlets. For that, put docBase=servlets without a leading slash.

Re: reloading, 5.0, context.xml
docBase=/servlets You're telling Tomcat to look in the root directory of your file system for the servlets directory. try: docBase=servlets On Fri, 2004-12-03 at 11:29, Christoph P.

What does the empty path= mean? It means it's the default app. http://localhost:8080; will bring that app up. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

At least the server now starts up again without error: INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL file:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat5.0/conf/Catalina/localhost/servlets.xml Now, when I formerly restarted tomcat/apache from within an xterm I got the RELOAD! message written to that xterm.
