It is possible to change the XML files on the server to do quick testing but you should let the deploy handle any updates on the server. This will mean getting into the habit of code/build/deploy for each change you do.
I don't use Tomcat but there may be parameters that get set to determine when the server looks for updated files. Sometimes these are optional to improve the performance of the server.

I am working on my first Struts app, and I have a question about when to build. I am doing my development work in Netbeans, and I am building my project with ant. My question is this: after I make changes to an XML file (or files), is it necessary to rebuild? Also, is it necessary to re-deploy the application, or does Tomcat check the updated XML files (such as validation.xml, for example) without the need to re-deploy? Do I need to re-build and re-deploy after every minor change? Thanks for your help!
