deploying a WAR file without restarting? and Cookie Name problem in 3.2.1

[Jan-Michael Ong]

Greetings Tomcat Users Group,

I'm hoping that you can help me here. I've purchased the "Prof. Apache Tomcat" book and searched through the archives but I'm unable to get any meaningful results for the following two questions:

1. JBoss allows for "hot deployment"--that is if I get my terms right--the ability for an instance to use a new WAR file or java class without restarting. Is this possible in Tomcat? Would you be so kind to point to any source of reference out there? I'm just familiarizing myself with JBoss and according to its documentation its also possible to "hot deploy" to one instance and have it propagate through its siblings. Is this scenario possible in Tomcat?

2. I've read that in 3.2.4 the "Cookie name path is a reserved token" error was fixed that was present in previous versions such as 3.2.1. What and/or how exactly was it fixed? I guess I can try to do a recursive diff between the two source trees but I don't even know what to look for. Any suggestions on how to find this elusive problem will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and I hope to hear from you.

Regards,

Jan-Michael
