This is katayama. Hello! I'm using JBoss-2.2.2 + Tomcat-3.2.2. I only deploy EAR files into jboss/deploy directory , so contents can be deployed to Tomcat. Usual standalone Tomcat uses $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory for deployment , and Tomcat needs restart of himself for hotdeployment. Why can we deploy contents to Tomcat via jboss? And why can we use new servlet/JSP contents on Tomcat without restart of Tomcat? I have tried to search the reason of this , so I found the directive in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml as follows. <ContextInterceptor className="org.jboss.tomcat.naming.JbossWebXmlReader" /> Shall that class do the special works for tomcat? And if we use tomcat in standalone , can we use hotdeploy like with jboss? I found in many documents that Tomcat needs restart for new contents deployment. Is it correct? _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
