applying server.xml changes without restarting server

Hello all,
I'd like to know if there is a way to apply server.xml changes without
restarting Tomcat?
I noticed that even changes to tomcat-user.xml need a server restart...
it there a way to see the changes without restarting?

thx
simone

It really depend swhat you want to do - most things in server.xml can
be configured in other ways - for eaxmple, if you want tp be able to configure 
username and passwords without restarting tomcat, you could use a jdbcrealm to
store the password info.

Similarly you can add/remove contexts using the manager app.

Most parts of the config you need to restart for will be things like
virtual hosts.
