[opencms-dev] Is there a way to add a new site server without a restart?

[Mario Jäger]

Hi Olaitan,

It is always necessary to restart the servlet container after you changed the OpenCms 
configuration files. You can not use the method OpenCms.getSiteManager().addSite() to 
add a site after the OpenCms configuration is finished, because the description of 
this method says the following: "Adds a new CmsSite to the list of configured sites, 
this is only allowed during configuration. If this method is called after the 
configuration is finished, a RuntimeException is thrown."

But I can not imagine, that you add many sites each day or week. That is why I can not 
imagine that you really need a workaround for this. Or how often do you want to add 
new sites?

Kind Regards,
Mario.
