Tomcat & Security

[Stefano Bonnin <sh...@libero.it>]

Hi, I have a problem with the "Tomcat Security".

I have to activate the security option under Tomcat. I have followed the
instructions on the documentation.

****
I remove the comment and so I have activate the

<ContextInterceptor
            className="org.apache.tomcat.context.PolicyInterceptor" />

directive.
****

Then I run tomcat and the following error is appeared on the screen

Starting Tomcat in new window
Starting tomcat. Check logs/tomcat.log for error messages
cannot process configuration web service using "/examples webapps/examples"
Security init for Context webapps/examples failed

Why? (if I run tomcat with -security option all work)

Thanks.

Can you restart a single application within Tomcat (3.2) ?

Every so often I loose connection with my DataSource, so I'd like to 
restart the application in order to re-initialize everything -- Can this be 
done?  Any examples?

TIA, Cliff
