Not quite; files to be monitored for changes have to be specified in a <WatchedResource> element nested inside the webapp's <Context> element. By default, this is only WEB-INF/web.xml, so a touch of that file should trigger a restart of the webapp without taking Tomcat down. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
