To my knowledge, it does not; the server.xml file is only read during Tomcat startup. However, there are APIs within Tomcat that allow creation of hosts on the fly. (There have been a few discussions on the mailing list over the past couple of years on how to do that.) The OP gave no real indication of the mechanisms currently employed to configure the new website; the term "publish" is pretty much meaningless. > if the experienced delay may not just be the time needed for > the DNS system to propagate the new domain address ? That would certainly seem to be a factor, although it doesn't explain the claim that the new domain is usable immediately upon Tomcat restart. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
