Hm, indeed. If the changes in conf/context.xml aren't propagated to the webapps, I don't see the point in reloading the apps on changes in that file. But I don't know if this is a (known) bug or if it works as designed and I'm simply misunderstanding how it's supposed to work. > I am using the tomcat connection pooling to connect to a postgres DB, > I would like to put the configuration (hostname, username, etc) > somewhere, so that i can change it, when I change the databasehost. > Where is the right place to put such a configuration? > > If i put the configuration in conf/context.xml the changes to the > values wont be given to running applications. > > If i put it in the conf/Catalina/.... the application will be > redeployed, which causes downtimes. > > What is the right place to PUT and later change the connection infos > to the database? Well what is right for you depends on your needs. I configure <Resource> elements in the webapp's context.xml - but YMMV. Anyway: I don't know of a built-in method that would enable a webapp to see changes in a <Resource> configuration without a reload of the app. But maybe someone else can provide better/additional information. -- Regards mks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
