Sure, that would be fine too. Does Catalina's classloader reload without restarting the webapp? How does that work? In other words, what if something in the AxisServer object graph has a reference to a Class that was loaded before a change occurred? I would think that that would cause either a) some kind of problem using the Class or b) continued usage of the old class (and ClassLoader, since there'd still be a reference to it through the Class).... JRun does dynamic refresh when JARs/classes change under WEB-INF, but we do it by restarting the webapp, which would restart the AxisServer. --Glen
