I don't what you mean by "changed" or "swapped", did you manually go to the
expanded WAR in Tomcat and change the files there? That indeed wouldn't be
picked up unless you restarted Tomcat. But if you edited your pages within the
template edit page of the UI they should have gone into effect immediately.
According to roller.properties, this is the property to use:
# Allow theme reloading during development # 1. You must be logged in.
# 2. Delete the style-sheet (Design | Style Sheet tab) from the weblog/theme
you're changing.
# 3. To reload macros under path /WEB-INF/velocity, first modify the macro file
and then trigger
# the reload by changing a template on the theme currently working
on, then refresh the page.
themes.reload.mode=false
But this may not have been used or tested in years, I have no idea if it still
works.
%%% I haven't touched the neither the expanded nor the packaged WAR as such -
all I did is logged in to the admin panel and changed the template and the
change did not get reflected until I restarted Tomcat%%%
%%%I will keep this roller.properties sample for reference - I will keep you

5.0.1 -> 5.0.4 were all security patches. The Roller Blog announces the
security fix when it is released.
%%%I see - thanks. Tamas%%%
