Tomcat restart problem

[Joseph Bashir]

Hi

My application uses Struts framework. Everytime I compile a java class, or I make changes in struts-config.xml file, I have to restart tomcat to enable java class and struts-config.xml file to show their effect. Is there any way taht I do not have to restart tomcat again and again.

I am using Tomcat 5.0.

Yes, the Tomcat manager application allows you to restart individual applications.

Also, if you manually configure your Context, you can set reloadable to "true" which will cause your application to be automatically restarted any time an already loaded class file is updated.
