If I remember rightly, the Enhydra Multiserver allowed you to restart the server from the web based administration console. Enhydra was tomcat based I believe.. So how did they achieve this (I don't know.. It's possible they weren't fully stopping the JVM and starting a new process)
They also allowed you to "stop" from the HTML console which, obviously, made restarting it again a little tricky from the admin console.. I guess they thought it was easier than typing multiserver -stop from a command line?? We did it using shell scripts on our servers.. The tomcat process is protected by a restart script anyway (we found that some native libraries can completely screw up the JVM, causing memory errors and exit - its rare but we just need the container to restart in these situations). So we have a stop script that attempts to stop tomcat the nice way, a kill script and restart and start scripts... These are just called from an admin console that runs outside of the tomcat (PHP).

Show me a server that does. Nearly all let you reload apps, some let you update JNDI entries etc, a few let you add new connectors etc., but a complete reboot meaning a new JVM process is different.
