There's various options for where you can define a context.

As far as I know, Tomcat only supports fully reloading the whole app. You might want to ask on the Tomcat list to be sure, though. L. Mon Cab wrote: Thanks Laurie. That helps a lot.

Runtime debugging - and Painfull Tomcat restarts
Is there any way to avoid having to restart Tomcat every time a class is recompiled in a webapp. I am debugging a webapp at the moment, and everytime I recompile my Action class I am having to wait 1 minute for Tomcat to restart. __ Yahoo!

You can tell Tomcat to make the context reloadable. It'll automatically redeploy your application whenever it sees a class get updated. That should be faster than shutting down and restarting the entire container. See the Tomcat documentation [1] for details -- specifically, the 'reloadable' attribute of the context configuration. L.

Re: Runtime debugging - and Painfull Tomcat restarts
Check out your context setting. Set the reloadable attribute to true. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/context.html Set to true if you want Catalina to monitor classes in /WEB-INF/classes/ and /WEB-INF/lib for changes, and automatically reload the web application if a change is detected. This feature is very useful during application development, but it requires significant runtime overhead and is not recommended for use on deployed production applications. That's why the default setting for this attribute is false. You can use the Manager web application, however, to trigger reloads of deployed applications on demand. Just don't be too quick. You usually need about 5 seconds between saves for it catch the file change. If you are too quick, it won't pick it up. --- Mon Cab [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there any way to avoid having to restart Tomcat every time a class is recompiled in a webapp. I am debugging a webapp at the moment, and everytime I recompile my Action class I am having to wait 1 minute for Tomcat to restart. __ Yahoo!
