Tomcat will create the subdirectories as needed, such as when you deploy a .war file that has an context.xml file in its META-INF directory. It won't create them until needed. > If I modify the directory and add the recomended structure, > will Tomcat pick it up Yes; it's all Java, so it doesn't care what the platform is. > also there is a way in Tomcat to do a contextual reload of the > xml files automatically as soon as they change Depends on which .xml files you're talking about. For WEB-INF/web.xml, that's controlled by a <WatchedResource> element nested inside a <Context> element. That's enabled by default for all webapps, since it appears in the global conf/context.xml file. You can add other <WatchedResource> elements to the global or individual webapp <Context> elements to monitor changes in other files, if desired. You can also set the reloadable attribute for any <Context> to have Tomcat watch for changes to the webapp classes and jars. Note that none of the monitoring mechanisms should be used in production, due to the overhead incurred.
