According to this https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/realm-howto.html#UserDatabaseRealm
It appears that xml file is loaded into a memory realm at start time. JMX changes are immediate, but is there an easy way to save the changes back to the xml file? Digging around in the source, I think the answer is no but I may have missed something. Can anyone confirm this?
