tomcat restart webapp from command line

Question

Answer 1

I know I am late to the party, but a little trick you can do in order to reload the app from the command line is to go to the web.xml of the application and simply touch it.

cd webapps//WEB-INF/

touch web.xml

tomcat reloads the application every time it notices a change on this file, if you simply touch it, you are not actually modifying the file, just the timestamp.
