Reload login-config.xml after making changes

[chonger]

I am running JBoss4.0 on WinXP using JVM 1.4.1_02-er-20030219

When I make a change to server/${serverName}/conf/login-config.xml , do I have to restart the server for the changes to take effect?

I have a web app whose access is controllerd by the UsersRolesLoginModule. When I change the properties file used by the module, I need to restart the Jboss server before the changes take effct.

JBoss polls the deploy directory and picks up any changes automatically, but does not seem to do so for login-config.xml.

The login-config.xml is not polled for changes. You can edit the properties files used by the UsersRolesLoginModule, so why do you have to change the properties file names?

There is a DynamicLoginConfig that allows one to dynamically add/remove login module domains:

Thank you for the quick response.

I am very new to JBoss and parts of J2EE. I was playing with login-config.xml and the learning how security domains/configurations work. I guess I assumed that changes to login-config.xml are picked up automatically since the chapter 4.3.1. "Configuring a Security Domain" in "Getting Started" documentation didn't mention that the server needs to be restarted after changes. Looks like I'll be OK.
