RE: Patches for Adding/Removing Hosts between Component Restarts

[Jerome Louvel]

Hi all,

I've just applied Alex's patch to SVN trunk and 1.0 branch.

I've also entered the suggested RFE:
http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=349

Best regards,
Jerome

Subject: Patches for Adding/Removing Hosts between Component Restarts

I've been experimenting with adding and removing host on a running server and
have run into some problems.  I've attached two patches that gets you part of
the way.  With these patches, you can now add or remove VirtualHost
instances from the Component and then just call stop() and start() to
restart the
component.

Taking a look at the code, this is much heavier than it should be because at
the heart of this is a Router instance.  If you could just "reload"
the ServerRouter
instance in the ComponentHelper class, you wouldn't actually have stop the
server.  Unfortunately, that field is private and not available via
public methods
on the Component class.

I suggest this is filed as an enhancement to provide a way to "reload"
the virtual
hosts from the host list.  It should be very easy to implement but
probably requires
a special method on Component.
