Re: Bouncing Tomcat (for new classes)

[Tim Funk]

I use this in ant (sorry for the line wrapping):

  <target name="restart">
    <echo>Restarting webapp[${webapp.path}] on ${tomcat.instance}</echo>
    <exec dir="/usr/local/bin/" executable="wget">
      <arg line="--spider --http-user=${tomcat.user} 
--http-passwd=${tomcat.password} 
http://${tomcat.server}:8080/manager/reload?path=${webapp.path}"/>
    </exec>
  </target>

                echo > /dev/null
        else
                /usr/local/bin/apache restart
        fi
        echo "\nExit Script? (y/N)\c"
        read INPUT
        if [ $INPUT -a $INPUT = 'y' ]
        then
                break
        fi
done
The "/usr/local/bin/apache" restarts apache and tomcat for me.

Even for development server I don't like automagic reloads. (YMMV). I
prefer to use the manager app to reload my webapp. I like the control
and predictability.
If you are building your app via ant - there are a couple ways to
automatically have ant reload your webapp. Such as using ant call, wget,
and there are ant tasks with 4.1.X.

You probably had tomcat configured in the past to look for
these changes

in .class files and automatically restart the web application. For some
reason - its now turned off. (I don't like that feature anyways).


Even for a development server?



If your change is only a class change in a webapp - all you have to do
is restart the webapp.


Excellent. This is a great tip.
