web.xml env-entry Values Not Re-read Using Tomcat Manager

I have looked through the tomcat-user archives regarding the following
issue, but I was not able to find an answer.

I am using Apache Tomcat/5.5.1 (JVM version 1.5.0-rc-b63) on Windows
2000.

It appears to me that, after I have modified <env-entry> values in
web.xml and then saved the web.xml file, those <env-entry> values are
not re-read when I use the Tomcat Web Application Manager to "stop",
"start", or "reload" my web application.  <context-param> values are
re-read, but <env-entry> values are not re-read.  In order to get Tomcat
to re-read the <env-entry> values, I have had to restart the Tomcat
instance itself.  However, since I have multiple applications running in
one Tomcat instance, it is frequently not possible to restart the entire
Tomcat instance, due to users currently making use of those other
applications.

I would prefer not to move all of the <env-entry> values to
<context-param> elements.  Is there a way to get Tomcat to re-read the
<env-entry> values without restarting all of Tomcat?
