Thanks Hassan for your question. > Are these data sources known in advance, or can the configuration > tool user come up with an arbitrary new one at any time?
These data sources will be known at the time of deployment, but as they are specific for each customer, I cannot write one META-INF/context.xml file that will do for everybody. That's why we had the idea of doing a configuration servlet. This servlet can modify/delete existing data sources as well as add new ones. The new ones are almost arbitrary, except that the servlet only allows to choose JDBC drivers that are installed on the system. An update on the problem: on my development server (managed by eclipse) restarting the server _sometimes_ seems to apply the changes. I haven't found out in which cases exactly. The changes are never applied when I deploy to a production server using a .war file, though. I tried adding META-INF/context.xml to <WatchedResource>, but this doesn't seem to help either. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
