I messed around with this quite a bit because of context-params that we kept updating in web.xml, but that didn't update when we did a reload. I read the documentation that said that stop & restart of a web-app would reread the web.xml, however in our version 4.0.6 this was NOT the case. We have moved to tomat 4.1.24, and it now detects that the web.xml has been changed and rereads it ( exactly when it get's reread seems to be an un-exact science - but if you do a reload it happens straight away ), so it's not a problem anymore. Of course I don't know if the servlet container updates it's mappings in accordance with the now re-read web.xml
