[resolved] RE: Context reload mandatory ?

[Re...@sanofipasteur.com]

Thanks for your advice,

About this webapp design. 
The case is : 
 1-Some users may submit an analyse. 
 2-This analyse must complete asynchronously, and send a mail when it's done. 
 3-The URL of the report is include in the mail.
 4-When it has been read, the user may delete it.
So no need to include them in a DBMS/SCM or whatever... Just to be readable when it's done, and a cron will delete the too old ones.

Back to the tomcat part of the problem:
My default context.xml has been setup to force antiJar/resource locking.
So writing a ABCReport/META-INF/context.xml with just:
<Context antiJARLocking="false" antiResourceLocking="false">
</Context>
Forbids tomcat to copy it in temp dir, and reports change are available directly without reloading context.

May this mail be useful to some future potential readers

Thanks again
