Reading users.xml without restarting Tomcat

[Roland Rabben <ro...@no.scala.com>]

Hi,
To the best of my knowledge I must restart Tomcat to be able to read
changes made to the "users.xml" file. Is there an API (or another way)
that forces Tomcat to read the "users.xml" file without restarting
Tomcat?

Try the admin servlet, that allows you to make changes to your user/group
definitions and apply the changes without taking tomcat down.

cheers,
