Tom, I agree with Wendy. I play around on Tomcat 5.0.28, Struts (1.1 and 1.2.4), Eclipse v3.0 (now 3.0.1 as of last night). I use the Sysdeo tomcat plug-In and have to make the application reload (a simple menu option) to see any resource changes like the properties file. I could make it restart all of Tomcat but there is no need. I'm sure your Eclipse plug-in has something similar for per-application restarting versus full-tomcat restarting.
Fyi... For my plug-In in Eclipse, in the Java perspective, I right click on my project, go to "Tomcat project" and choose the menu option "reload this context" to force Tomcat to reload ONLY my webapp. Using the buttons the Sysdeo plug-In puts on the menu bar, that would restart the whole Tomcat server, which I don't want to do. The sysdeo plugIn is available at: http://www.sysdeo.com/eclipse/tomcatPlugin.html Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 7:19 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: a re-deploy does not refresh ApplicationResources in Apache From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > if I change the ApplicationResources.properties file then redeploy it to > tomcat, my struts web app does not see > the change.

(Apache 5.0.27? I assume you mean Tomcat, which is an Apache project by way of Jakarta.) I hesitate to say for sure because I'm not on Tomcat 5 or Eclipse. But... you shouldn't have to restart Tomcat entirely, just the individual webapp. I do it with Ant targets, first 'install' then 'reload'. If that's one of the files that gets read once when the webapp starts up, the only way to get it to be read again is to reload (or stop and start) the webapp (context). -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
