Nit picking: probably not. It looks like the manager app does all the work of starting and stopping other webapps, so there doesn't appear to be any threads running around to do the work for you. You could have some other app restart the manager, but then you've basically just reimplemented the manager. Auto-deploy is probably the only other means of restarting the manager. > When Tomcat deploys a webapp, it creates a ClassLoader > for that webapp that tries to load all classes from that > webapp's WEB-INF/classes filter and JAR files within > WEB-INF/lib. Such loading actually only occurs when needed, not at deployment, other than for listeners and servlets marked as load-on-startup. Consequently, missing classes may not be found for quite some time. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
