Query: Reloadable

[we...@viitindia.org]

What shall I do if I have to make my Tomcat 4.1 autoreloadable. i.e. it should reload the app whenever there is change in .class files. This is a development server not a production server. Around 50 apps r there and I don't want to use manager app.

Thanks in Advance

Thanks Craig
I tried with ur solution but it didn't work.
I copied examples dir as test in webapps folder. and added following to
server.xml.
<Context path="/test" docBase="test" reloadable="true" debug="0">
<Loader checkInterval="2"/>
</Context>
Let me give u more details of this. I have tomcat4. My installation is
default. Only I copied webapps/examples directory by other names in webapps
folder so now all the folders r visible thr browser. I also tried adding
this to server.xml
<DefaultContext reloadable="true" debug="0">
</DefaultContext>
but still servlets are not autoreloadable.

Any help is greatly appriciated.

Put a <Context> element in your server.xml file, with reloadable="true"
inside.  Note that this only works on classes loaded from /WEB-INF/classes
or /WEB-INF/lib.

You might also want to shorten the timeout at which Tomcat checks for
updated classes (default is 15 seconds):

  <Context path="..." docBase="..." reloadable="true">
    <Loader checkInterval="5"/>
  </Context>

For more info on server.xml configuration settings, see the Server
Configuration Reference in the docs shipped with Tomcat, or available
online at:
