In the Tomcat Manager, does the "Reload" button on each application do just the same thing as "Stop" followed by "Start"? You might think so ... but, no, it doesn't.

If you stop and restart your application by using the two buttons, your web.xml configuration file will be read and any changes that you've made to it since the application was last started will be taken into consideration. But if you just "reload" then any changes made to web.xml since the application was last started will be ignored.

Splitting the difference
Big number
Shortened interactive commands
