Many thanks Caldarale. I'm working with tomcat 6, but a I was looking so quickly for an answer that I didn't realise that it was the tomcat 3.2 user manual, but that explained me what happened. I think that<WatchedResource> will help me for this kind of tasks
Note that the watched resources means Tomcat will reload the webapp. I had the impression, you wanted to use a self-made mechanism that watches a resource and does some internal reconfiguration when the resource changes - but not a complete reload of the webapp.

From: jmorati...@dit.upm.es [mailto:jmorati...@dit.upm.es] Subject: Re: About ContainerBackgroundProcessor thread Here is the explanation I found: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-3.2-doc/uguide/tomcat_ug.html You can't seriously be using Tomcat 3.2, are you? That hasn't been supported for eons. In regards to your original question, if the reloadable attribute of the <Context> element is set to true, Tomcat will monitor /classes/ to see if the webapp has been updated. To quote from current documentation: "Set to true if you want Catalina to monitor classes in /WEB-INF/classes/ and /WEB-INF/lib for changes, and automatically reload the web application if a change is detected. This feature is very useful during application development, but it requires significant runtime overhead and is not recommended for use on deployed production applications." You can also use a nested<WatchedResource> element to trigger reloads for other files; the default is just WEB-INF/web.xml. If you don't set reloadable and don't specify the file as a<WatchedResource>, Tomcat should not attempt to do anything with the webapp once it's started. But if you really are using Tomcat 3.2, I have no idea what it's behavior should be; move up to a supported level. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
