Activate immediately changes in server.xml and tomcat-users.xml? How to refresh?

[Ben Stover <bx...@yahoo.co.uk>]

Assume Tomcat is currently running.
Now I change some entries in the server.xml or tomcat-users.xml
As far as I can see these entries are not immediately active.

How can I tell Tomcat to refresh his config information (=re-read the config files)?

Is there a way without full shutdown + restart?

The only straightforward way is via restart, unfortunately, at least in
Tomcat 6.  Tomcat 5.5 and older had the admin app which could be used to
make run-time config changes, but (as I understand) it had several
internal deficiencies and was never updated for version 6.

Theoretically, it should be possible to make config changes via JMX in
Tomcat 6, but I don't know if anyone's done it yet.
