In this current Tomcat web app I'm going to need a way to A) switch the logging level of the webapp on the fly (from info/warn to maybe debug) and B) a way to manually flush all ibatis caches without restarting the application. I see a SqlMapClient implementation has a flushDataCache method to flush the complete cache.
I'm curious, though, what you guys that have worked with Tomcat use to help in these tasks? JMX/MBeans are easy with JBoss but when briefly researching this for Tomcat I amazed at the lack of documentation and examples. Because the information is so sparse, I'm assuming people create hooks into their app by other means? Is the easiest just to create some protected admin page as part of your webapp and just hook into a servlet to make the calls? What is the approach most take when they want to accomplish the above tasks using a simple appserver? Thanks -- Rick
