Hi Vijay, Assuming you have the manager application on tomcat (deployed by default), you can go to:
http://yourhost:yourport/manager/html/list Login with the tomcat admin user/pass. Use this html GUI to stop and start (or reload) the webapp. This will not bounce the entire tomcat server. --Thunder -----Original Message----- From: Tewari, Vijay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 8:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Deploying services with axis Thanks Eugene I am trying to find out what the best way to do this is. The brain dead way is to stop and restart Tomcat, but I am looking for a more harmless mechanism. Any pointers?? Regards Vijay -----Original Message----- From: Thompson, Eugene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 5:46 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Deploying services with axis Remember the Tomcat makes a copy of your servlet/JSP/web service in the "work" directory. That's what it uses. If you've undeployed and replaced the files in the webapps directory, you still need to bounce Tomcat to get it to recopy the files. I believe there is a way to do this automatically. Hope this helps.
