Check out the workers.properties file. If Tomcat is running as an out-of-
or in-process container, you will see the redirection for the webserver to
pass requests to certain web virtual directories (check the virtual
directories on your webserver, too). A real quick clue is if you can invoke
a servlet from port 80 while the webserver is running without an error. If
you can, the container is running non-stand-alone. If you have to call a
servlet from port 8080 (or other non-80 port while the webserver is running,
the container is in stand-alone mode. Finally, if any support HTML files
are in your webserver document root and they can invoke JSP/servlet methods,
your container is not stand-alone. To find out whether it is out-of- or
in-process mode, again, check the properties files.
You are correct with the reload question. Be advised, however, that you do
not want this configured as true in a production environment. It will hose
your server under heavy stress. Reloading is used mainly for development.
Cheers!
