How do i restart a webapp programmatically?

[yves030]

hi experts,

i have a webapplication thats needs to be restarted from
time2time... (memoryleaks and so on...)
from the tomcat-manager, one can manually reload the webapp.
thats fine, but i want to this to be done programmatically from a java-class of my webapp... without authentification and so on. i don´t know how to find out the correct classloader nor how to initiate the reload-mechanism...
any examples that help me would be very nice,

thank you,

yves

The easiest way is to do it from a shell/batch script - I wouldn't even consider doing it from within a web app.
