Hi, In order for tomcat to reload your files, you have to add "reloadable=true" to your application context in server.xml. However, this will cause tomcat to restart each time one of yout classes has been changed or one of the jars in WEB-INF/lib. Not only, it'll effect performance, but creating a new class loader isn't so obvious, and might cause problems (If you use jni, for example).
good luck, Tamir -----Original Message----- From: cbarnes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 12:16 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Updating files without restarting Tomcat I am using Tomcat 4. I have a .properties file in my WEB-INF/classes part of my work tree, which is read in using a ResourceBundle. My problem is that if I update this properties file it does not recognise the new version until I have restarted Tomcat. Is there a config value I can change so that I don't have to restart Tomcat each time I change the properties file? If there is can it apply to only certain files or sections of the application? I don't want Tomcat to check if .class files have changed everytime it uses them as this isn't necessary and will obviously effect performance.
