Description: Bug exists in Build 020124. It is supposed that user can make some modifications in the server.xml file by hand (FFJ has only restricted capabilities for configuring Tomcat server). E.g. user may change log file names, change/delete contexts and etc. However these hand-made changes can not be handled by IDE without restarting it, that is very unconvenient for users. Possible solutions are: 1. Add "Refresh (Reload) Config" action to the Tocat plugin 2. Automatically detect that server.xml file is modified and reload it after that. Suggested Fix: I think that the second would be possible - to listen to the changes of this file and reparse it. rkubacki@netbeans.org 2002-01-25 Evaluation: FileChangeListener is added to the Tomcat40DataObject. Attempting to verify this in s1s5se build 030206_1, it appears to only be partially fixed. If the user modifies server.xml in the IDE, then the Tomcat node will be updated properly. However, if the user edits server.xml outside the IDE, then the Tomcat node will not be updated. There needs to be a way for the user to update the Tomcat node after external edits to server.xml (other than restarting the IDE). I'm reopening this issue and lowering priority. jrush@netbeans.org 2003-02-08 A comment.
