[Geoserver-devel] how to load new configuration

hello list,

is there a way to load new configuration settings (new datastores in catalog.xml) while geoserver webapp is running?
How can I inform geoserver to reload his settings to make disposable more datastores than at geoserver-start. I have an own
webapp, a geoportal which should serve for data exchange. After uploading data (until now only shape and gml), I rewrite catalog.xml and would like to reload geoserver config, but not the whole webapp in tomcat. Your admin-tool is an example for this, but also integrated in geoserver-webapp.

Is there a way provided to reload geoserver from another webapp?
Hope you can help me..

Best regards, Sven
