Hi Justin, That's exactly the kind of thing I want to do. However, I just tried to use the manager app to restart my failed "Hello" example. When the context was up, the reload worked fine. However, when the context died because of an intentional error in web.xml, I get an error from manager:
FAIL - Encountered exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: Container StandardContext[/jas/example2] has not been started Any ideas as to what the problem might be? Thanks.. Jason.
