this is just a guess, but I would imagine in the typicall Production environment, the overhead required would be pretty intensive, also the mess that was made in the wrong hands. I believe that with the manager context in 4.04 and up, (both 4.04 and 4.1) have their own problems... you can force a deployment. I think that is probably the right approach personally, I don't mind doing that.... If you're real familiar with the tomcat sources, I have some code remm has as well, for jndi that needs integration to tomcat standards... for ldap on Netware. in 4.1-dev.
