Thanks for your replies, Wendy and Bill. Yes I could reload the webapp but, and this is a big but, the start-up of my server takes a good while longer than reloading the struts config. There are things going on that are not contained within my struts config (Such as web services instantiation, XSL transformation of data to html etc etc).
No worries if it can't be done anymore, I have accepted it for months... it was just a question thrown innocently to see if anyone knew of the way that had been replaced. My question has actually been answered: "My understanding is that the reload action was dropped because it sometimes left things in an unpredictable state." That's fine, although I wonder if it could have been looked at and worked on instead of just dropped. I am not a contributor but I think it's high time I did some 'give back' as my old Big Blue would have said. If anyone has some detail on where to start with looking at this code and the problems that left it in an unstable state I would be interested to see them. On the other hand if this action was not useful to anyone except me I will keep quiet ;) -----Original Message----- From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 March 2005 22:52 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Reloading Configuration File From: "Mark Benussi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > This action "went" in Struts 1.2 and I never found a replacement. > Any ideas anyone? I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. The discussion you quoted seems to start from a false premise: that you have to stop and start Tomcat to get config changes to take effect. All you have to do is reload the individual webapp that had changes. I do it with 'ant reload'. (Tomcat ships with Ant tasks that interact with its manager app.) You can also use the HTML version of the manager app-- click reload, and you're done. -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
