Hi, we have Tomcat 5 installed and there is something that troubles me. Some guys have modified the classpath via the tomcat5w.exe (Java tab) and put all their applications in a directory outside of tomcat. It isn't even a web root, just a root for class files. They did this so they don't have to restart Tomcat for every class change and to put their application class files anywhere they want. This bugs me. They just change the classpath known by Tomcat at startup (like bootstrap) but isn't this against all design logic ? It's nice not to have to restart Tomcat (production webserver needs to run 24/24), but one can accomplish that with the admin/manager applications also (assuming it's secure enough). Or this "not done" or is it ? Regards, Verheyen Quinten
