Calling destroy() from within your own servlet code will achieve nothing but
grief -- it certainly won't cause JServ (or any other servlet engine) to
reload
you servlet.
So, why would you want your servlet to "reload" itself? Is it to
reinitialize
some resources that you use? If so, why both reloading -- just put your
initialization
in a separate, sychronized method, and call that when you want to "reload".
The effect would be identical.
