restart tomcat remotely

[Adi Katz <ak...@easa.aeat.com>]

Hello,

Is it possible to restart tomcat remotely?

I have the following problem:
I use tomcat with ssl and I install a certificate into the keystore using a servlet. Now for tomcat to start using the new certificate it needs to read the keystore file again or alternatively reload the https connector or alternatively to be restarted all together. ( I dont mind which)
I assume that there will be no physical accsess to the server at this point and it will need to be done remotely vias a servlet or an open port ( like in <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0"> )

Thanks for your help,
Adi

hi,

i don't really understand the reason for restart. normally you install 
your certification authorities in your cacerts file and your server 
certificate in your keystore file. when your clients have a certificate 
signed by a CA included in your cacerts file they will be acceptet - 
without any restart.

do you often change the server cert? or add CA's?

cu, joe
