mvc frameworks and refreshing applications

[Michael Vogel]

Hi,

I'm currently investigating mvc frameworks to use for web services  
that will be built using the restlet api and was wondering if the  
forum users had any recommendations. Initially, I was thinking of  
using Spring, but I am concerned about adding the overhead of tomcat  
to the mix just to use it.

Also, on a more directly restlet related topic, I want to provide  
multiple services via one server connection. I can do that by  
attaching multiple applications to the component and giving them  
different base url pieces, but I would like to be able to modify an  
individual application to add new paths (or edit the paths or  
something) without having to restart the component. Is there a way to  
make the component reload an application that is attached to it? (or  
maybe i'm thinking about this in the wrong way?)

Thanks,

Michael
