And some other google stuff. What do you mean by {context}/META-INF? What the hell is {context} ? And still, how would it know which <Host> to use? -----Original Message----- From: QM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 7:56 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Can server.xml be reloaded without restart?

Correct. : Now, where does that context.xml go? Into WEB-INF? Tried it, didn't work. {context}/META-INF To answer your other question: this file is associated with the webapp because of its location in the context dir or WAR file. That's how the manager app/Tomcat/etc know what to do with it. I don't know what's up there now, but this was described on the Tomcat site when I made the switch to using context.xml many moons ago. ;) In fact, for Tomcat5 use of context.xml is encouraged. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
