When context reloaded the Parameters specified in server.xml for the Context are not availaple

           Summary: When context reloaded the Parameters specified in
                    server.xml for the Context are not availaple
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mihy@q8.dk


If in a <Context> definition in the server.xml a <Parameter> element is 
specified this element is only available through the getServletContext
().getInitParameter() at startup and not after webapp reload. Actually this is 
not certain. For example, if a file in the WEB-INF/classes directory is 
modified the Parameter is still available after reload but if WEB-INF/web.xml 
is touched the parameter disappears(becomes null) after reload.
So I conclude that reloading is different depending on the two cases.

After looking at when ApplicationContext is initialized I have realized that 
when web.xml is touched a new ApplicationContext is created(and the init 
parameters are lost) whereas if a file in WEB-INF/classes is touched a new 
ApplicationContext is not created so the ApplicationContext.parameters variable 
created at startup is still used which explains why they don't disappear.
The problem is the case where a new ApplicationContext is created. in 
ApplicationContext.mergeParameters the call to context.findApplicationParameters
() returns a zero length ApplicationParameters[] after reload, so i suppose 
that the problem is in the StandardContext. Perhaps addApplicationParameters() 
is not called after a reload but only at startup?
Thats all I've found out; hope it helps.
