Editing the context.xml triggers an undeploy followed by a deploy rather than a reload. Currently, the brief period between the undeploy and the deploy will be treated as if no web application exists. Handling this the same way a context reload is handled (essentially pausing the request until the redeploy is complete) might be possible but that would require code changes. The problem is non-trivial because of the interactions between the Mapper, the Host, the HostConfig and the Context objects that would need to be coordinated. I suspect the complexity would not be worth the benefit when there is a simpler solution available. Using parallel deployment and deploying a new version would mean the new version is deployed without any downtime and the old version can be removed at your leisure.
