Does Orionserver have a way for developers to reinitialize the data-sources.xml file and re-establish database connections without shutting down the entire server? This is a fault tolerance issue, having the database server go down behind your application. Our existing servlet apps have a connection pool that monitors the actual database server Unix box to help determine if connections should be re-initialized. Can/does Orionprovide this somehow?
