There is no current mechanism to reload tomcat-users.xml.
The memory realm is not really designed for production use - it is just
there to get things working initially without requiring you to set up a
database or a directory server. You should use JDBCRealm in a real
application -- any changes to the underlying data are reflected
immediately the next time that user logs on, with no need to restart
anything.
