tomcat-users.xml

[Just another UFO mechanic]

Hi 

   I would like to use a file be that XML or CSV for user authentication
on a realm. I am using the conf/tomcat-user.xml but I have to restart
each time its up dated. What I find confusing is it says in server.xml
(Tomcat 5.0.12)

<!-- This Realm uses the UserDatabase configured in the global JNDI
           resources under the key "UserDatabase".  Any edits
           that are performed against this UserDatabase are immediately
           available for use by the Realm.  -->

Immediately available would lead me to think that it checks the file for
updates. Is there a flag I have to set. Or is my only option to write a
custom realm.
 

 <!-- Editable user database that can also be used by
         UserDatabaseRealm to authenticate users -->
    <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
              type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
       description="User database that can be updated and saved">
    </Resource>
    <ResourceParams name="UserDatabase">
      <parameter>
        <name>factory</name>
       
<value>org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory</value>
      </parameter>
      <parameter>
        <name>pathname</name>
        <value>conf/tomcat-users.xml</value>
      </parameter>
    </ResourceParams>

Thanks
