Thanks Laurie. That helps a lot. I read about the context.xml file, but couldnt find an example file, and wasn't sure what to write in it.
After poking around in the conf directory, I was also confused as to where I would find the host element. .... do you know if its possible to specify which parts of the app are reloaded, or will Tomcat, just reload the whole app ? --- Laurie Harper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There's various options for where you can define a > context.
