Chuck, Thanks for your persistence! I'll try to explain with examples.
We have a directory called COMPANY_NAME/tomcat that is CATALINA_BASE. I sent the contents of CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml in the email below. We have a CATALINA_BASE/WEBAPPS/APP_NAME directory. We also have a COMPANY_NAME/APP_CONF_DIR that contains a /conf directory, the APP_NAME.war file, and an APP_NAME.xml file. There is a context element defined in the COMPANY_NAME/APP_CONF/DIR/app_name.xml file with reloadable="false". This is the one I was changing. However it turns out that we used this one as a placeholder in case the one in the CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/app_name.xml got deleted. We also have a context element in a place I hadn't seen before at: CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/app_name.xml. This context element had reloadable="true". I changed it to reloadable="false" and restarted tomcat. Now the app does not get reloaded! Fixed. Thanks to all.

So is your webapp in <catalina_base>/webapps or not? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
