Yes, I remember. I think I was going to look at it back then :) The problem with XML Include or (even worse) DTD defined entities is that if the included file is changed (the host files are set to be watched, because it would not appear the server.xml has changed) it would currently need to reconfigure the whole server (I think). It would be better if tomcat could recognize just one host haas changed and reload it. Haven't had a major itch here, so just throwing it out :) best, -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
