Load server.xml without restarting Tomcat 5.5.26 Server
Hi,
I am using Tomcat 5.5.26 server for my application. I need to add a host
entry inside server.xml everytime a user registers himself. But the server
does not recognize the new entry without restarting server. Is it possible
to reload the server.xml without restarting the server?

Since you're running 5.5, you can use the admin webapp to dynamically add <Host> elements. However, this webapp does not persist any config changes, nor was it carried forward to newer Tomcat levels. Consequently, you might want to develop your own webapp that does just the specific tasks you're interested in, so it will be usable on newer Tomcat versions (although the APIs may be somewhat different).
You could use the admin source and the API docs as reference:
http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.26/src/
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/index.html

Thanks Charles for quick reply.
However, can you assist me with some hints that can help me to do so (with
Tomcat APIs)?

Don't forget to also record this host information somewhere on the disk,
otherwise you will lose all your host info when you restart.

No. However, if you examine the Tomcat source, you can build a webapp to call the appropriate APIs to register the new host; you may also be able to do the same via JMX.
