changing server.xml attribs on the fly

["Ramesh Narayanan (ramesnar)" <ra...@cisco.com>]

Hi folks
               Has anyone ventured into modifying the conf/server.xml
file using the default internal XML parser of tomcat? I am currently in
a midst of a project where I am securing all in bound and out bound
communications and to that effect I have generated a SSL certificate
using our CA and when I configure manually the new keystore, keypass,
truststore, trust password, everything works like a charm. I need the
capability to just go and change these attribs at run time and restart
the tomcat server and want the new cert to load. I know I can write my
own SAX or DOM parser to achieve this, but I thought since Tomcat
internally parses this file anyways, if this parsing and persisting into
java objects is already available?

Can anyone volunteer to help me out please?

Thanks
Ramesh

tomcat uses the common-digester code to parse server.xml,

you can see several classes called

XXXRuleSet.java, and those are the rules for how server.xml turns into 
java objects
