Question about exploded war archive and running application

[Julien Martin <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have a running web application in production under Tomcat. I would like to
alter one of the configuration files (ehcache.xml) of the exploded war
archive and restart tomcat without uploading a new war.

My question is: if I restart Tomcat will it redeploy the original war - in
which case my new configuration will be overwritten - or will Tomcat use the
already exploded war and read my altered configuration file?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Julien.

P.S. For your information I use Tomcat 6.0 without any cluster.

Thanks André.
I'll try and use the Tomcat manager instead of restarting Tomcat.

If you stop and start tomcat, I think it may do so (but don't take my word for it).
But if you use the Tomcat Manager, and just stop and restart /your application/, then it 
probably will not.
