Restarting Tomcat from Tomcat itself
- by Jack
Hello, is it possible to restart Tomcat6 by executing a JSP?
This because I would like to deploy the changes of an application by doing it remotely using the webserver.
The deploy script is written in bash and it checkouts the latest version from the svn, then package it as a war, then copy it in /webapps/ while adding some libs. If I execute it from a JSP (for example by using System.execute(..) will it cause problems?
The fact is that the script itself is something like:
/etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
# do things
/etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
so I don't think it would work.. is there a way to execute a stand-alone process from inside tomcat?
