I believe there has been talk on the dev list of incorporating "restart" functionality for server.xml. That is, tell Tomcat to reread server.xml without going through a full stop/start cycle. I have no idea how difficult this would be to do, or even if it is being considered seriously, but maybe it will be available soon. That would solve the whole "how do I change server.xml on the fly" problem.
