Why would you want to reload the application? What are the motives behind that?
There are few ways to do it... it all depends what do you want to accomplish and what type of an app it... what is your current deployment procedure? Here are few ways: 1. Obvious one, remove app from webapps and copy it again. Automatic deployment will take care of it. 2. Use above mentioned method through the management app, using curl or wget tool to invoke the reload. 3. Similar method to 2, but using manager app jmxproxy servlet. 4. Writing your custom code to access jmx and call mbean to invoke deployment reload. Hope that helps...
