the tomcat distribution includes a manager webapplication which provides the functionality of
starting, stopping and reloading specific web applications, take a look at the source code of
this app to figure out how to achive such a behaviour. you may face some problems when
the webapp tries to reload itself, imho this isnt possible. but you could deploy the reloading servlet
into another webapp, that should do the job.

Hi;
I have created an "installation Servlet", which gathers some information from the administrator upon first startup after installation of my webapp. Everything is running fine, but at the end the Servlet should restart/reload the webapplication in which it is running.
I haven't found any hint how i could get this done. Of course i could simply set autoreload='true', but this is no good idea for production and has several other drawbacks in my environment.
if there is a "standard" solution available, that would be great. If there is a solution, which only works for tomcat, that would be ok, if i could figure out from the servlet, that i am running on a tomcat appserver...
any ideas ?
regards, Hussayn
