RE: server.xml reload - context xml's in webapps directory

["Elankath, Tarun (Cognizant)" <ET...@blr.cognizant.com>]

As an addendum to this thread, I would like to know whether context xml's put in  TOMCAT_HOME/webapps (the appBase directory) are automatically reloaded when changed.

Would they require a re-start of the server or would a simply re-start of their associated web application suffice ?

Thanks,
Tarun

Cool. So if I want server.xml to be re-read on the fly, I've got to make the
changes via the admin interface. I guess that's not too odious.

thanks, Tim.

Look at the admin app which comes with 4.1.24.
