Thanks for the info Jerry, I get it ... but I am having trouble actually accomplishing this task. Since the ActionServlet is a "javax.http.servlet" I am not sure how to call its its init?
The class is "org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet" but I am uncertain how to init this thing? Anyone have any ideas?

Whenever you'd like to reload the config file, then just go to the jsp that you've mapped for ReloadAction, and then that ought to do the trick. hth "Scott Purcell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <user@struts.apache.org> nc.com> cc: (bcc: Jerry Tan/DTCC) Subject: Reloading Configuration File 03/03/2005 09:30 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" Hello, I was reading from my O'Reilly struts book last night, and it has a section on "Reloading The Configuration Files" pp 102. Because I am in development, I am constantly updating the config file and I have to keep stopping and starting my tomcat, I found the section interesting, but it gives no explanation on how to do this. It says one approach is to create a struts action that will reinitialize the ActionServlet? Does this mean I just need to recompile the ActionServlet that came with stuts, or do I need to subclass the ActionServlet and compile that. It looks like once you compile the ActionServlet, that it will reread the config? Does anyone have any knowledge in this area?
