[opencms-dev] Module Action class updateModule method

[Mariano Barcia]

Joachim,

Thanks for your response! 

You are right: restarting the context automatically is much better than no
restarting at all. However, I'd like to research for a better "ideal"
solution.

JBoss option is interesting ... hot deploy is not new, perhaps Tomcat is
missing something.

We are testing Tomcat's behavior right now, keep you updated. Regards,

well, this is better than restart the context by yourself each time.

Hm, but this isn't really bad in my opinion, is it?

i think this is no problem as long as you have no "backoffice" part in 
your online webapp. Then the session is destroyed but the user will not 
see this.

Another option could be the usage of JBoss. Here the Tomcat destroys no 
sessions if you add a lib as far as i know. Next possibility could be to 
configure tomcat in this way that the sessions are stored in a database 
instead of the ram. So you are able to manage the session handling at 
reload cycle by yourself.
