I entered the following line <user name="ad" password="pw"
roles="admin,manager" /> in tomcat-users.xm file. I can login to the admin
http://localhost:8080/admin/ and application manager
http://localhost:8080/manager/html

I would like to give some test application users ability to start & restart
the tomcat server but not the entire admin / manager interface. Is it
possible to configure this?

I am told that when the application (jsp/servelet code) changes, tomcat has
to restart to clear the old cache. Is it true?

My tomcat version is 5.5.23

thanks, vm
