Hi
all,
My
experience with this is that any class you want Tomcat and its web applications
to use has to be available to it at startup time. It doesn't know anything
about classes you add to its various and sundry classpaths after you start it
up. However, it does seem to pick up on changes to classes in the various
web applications' WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib directories
(usually it lets you know this with a message in the logfile, something like
"restarting context"). I don't think it picks up changes to things in
shared/lib or common/lib but I wouldnt' swear to it.
Hope
this helps!
Ben
-----Original Message-----I think that is just how tomcat works... everytime you add a file it has to be restarted. I think it even has to be restarted when you change a file....

I was hoping someone might be able to help with a funny problem I'm having...
(tomcat 5.0, java 1.4, axis 1.2 final, Solaris environment)
1) tomcat running
2) copy over new jar file to axis/WEB-INF/lib
3) deploy service
4) service doesn't work (classnotfound)
5) restart tomcat
6) service works fine
WSDL is being autogenerated for this service by the way.
I've played with various TC settings and can't seem to resolve this issue (i thought may it had to do with TC's autodeploy, deployOnStatup features, but no luck there).
Would anyone happen to have some suggestions on how to go about resolving this?
Thank you
