JConsole.

Every operation is exposed through JMX and you can even save your changes
out to tomcat-users.xml

I think that is not possible.
In production, the best option would  be to use a database or LDAP
directory to store your accounts.

HowTo update tomcat-users.xml without restarting tomcat

2008-11-27 Thread Andreas.Huck 
Hello everybody,

I need to update the tomcat-users.xml quite often in a productive environment. 
Therefore it would be nice to have a possibility to update the file without the 
need for restarting tomcat.

I tried to define the resource UserDatabase as reloadable but that didn't work 
out.
Also I checked the possibilities of the tomcat manager but all the reload 
functions there seem to relate only to the webapps and not to the configuration 
of tomcat itself.

Any hints what I could try next?

Thanks in advance,
Andreas
