Does anyone know of any way to make a datasource configuration change in WAS 7 without a complete restart of the app servers? I need to change the database URL and would rather not bring down all my app servers to do so.
From what I can gather, these resources are bound at server startup and recycling the server is the only way to recognize the new configuration. For example, if your driver switched from oci to thin, you may have some connections still in the pool, which could be troublesome.
I am also curious if its possible to change JMS resource information, such as a Queue or Topic JNDI name without a restart.
Please let me know. It doesn't really seem either of these are possible to change without a restart.
You need to restart the server for these changes to take effect.
