context.xml Parameter values not updating without Tomcat restart
Hello,
I am using context.xml to configure my web application. But when I
change values in the context.xml, the application does not see the changes,
unless I restart tomcat:
Setup:
Tomcat 6.0.18 (from distribution tarball, unmodified, except as explained
below)
Linux (Fedora 9) 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-rc-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
I have a http://www.nabble.com/file/p19294618/context.xml context.xml in
~/local/tomcat/conf
With my browser, I go to http://localhost:8080/c to execute
http://www.nabble.com/file/p19294618/index.jsp index.jsp which is in
directory in ~/local/tomcat/webapps/c
The result is as expected, "valueONE".
But when I change the value="valueTWO" in the context.xml and re-run
index.jsp, the OLD value remains.
The application context is reloaded in some sense, but the new values of
context.xml are not available.
I thought the main reason to use context.xml is precisely so that
configuration changes can be made without having to restart the who tomcat
instance.
Am I doing something wrong?
Hanan

For a start, you are posting to the dev list. You want the users list for
this sort of question.

I'm not exactly sure about context.xml, but I know it's not viable to
auto-update server.xml on a running server.
What type of changes are you making in context.xml?
