Hi Andy,
> Is it possible to enable hot deployment in Jakarta Tomcat? If so, > could someone please provide some configuration instructions? -- by hot deployment do you mean you want to be able to deploy a class or servlet to Tomcat and have Tomcat automatically recognize the new version? If yes, then checkout the 'reloadable' attribute of the Context Container: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/context.html FYI: "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." If you mean you want to able to hot-deploy an entire application, then you'll want to check out the Manager application that comes w/ Tomcat: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/manager-howto.html The manager is a web application that allows you to: -- Deploy a new web application, on a specified context path, from a specified directory or WAR file pathname. -- List the currently deployed web applications, as well as the sessions that are currently active for those web apps. -- Cause an existing application to be reloaded. -- Undeploy an existing web application. -- Stop an existing application (so that it becomes unavailable), but do not undeploy it. -- Start a stopped application (thus making it available again). hth, AJ Aaron Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://cephas.net/blog/ ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
