Way to tell Tomcat 4 to reload tomcat-users.xml without having to restart?

[Jonathan Eric Miller]

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell Tomcat 4 to reload the
tomcat-users.xml file?

I want to give users the ability to change their passwords without having to
restart Tomcat in order for the changes to take affect. I was able to this
with Apache Web Server without a problem because it apparently continuously
checks that file to see if it has changed. Tomcat doesn't seem to do that.

Also, I'm wondering if there are plans to make it so that the passwords in
this file are encrypted?
