Reload on Tomcat 5.5
Hi, I first stared using tomcat with version 5.0. I recently have tried installing version 5.5 and have noticed only 1 major difference... reload doesnt seem to work! I dont get any errors, infact i get the correct entries in the log etc but nothing actually reloads. I have tried to reload via the manager application and reload via the ant task. Neither work. If i undeploy then re-deploy then the application updates fine. I just then tried EXACTLY the same application and environment (in fact i just deleted the 5.5 tomcat folder and stuck a 5.0 one there instead). Reload works perfectly. I have searched high and low on the internet and cannot find anything about any difference or problems with reload. An I doing somthing wrong here or does reload just not work? Thanks, Robert. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Reload on Tomcat 5.5
I don't run 5.5, but it sounds like you may be running into an issue that has plagued several others on the list. 5.5 has a hard time letting go of the cache/workfiles. I notice that you said the program updates fine, what are you doing that a reload should update? An undeploy will normally delete the cache. I am not sure on a reload. Also what version of 5.5 as there may have been a fix for this in later versions.

Re: Reload on Tomcat 5.5
Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I have the latest stable version i think (5.5.9). I have tried this on older version too in the past and just given up and gone back to 5.0. I just decided this time to see if it was a bug or me missing somthing. Basically i'm just trying to get classes to reload. Say i make a change in what a particular servlet prints out to the browser, i want to see that change. Nothing complex. At the moment i've just gone back to 5.0 and all is working ok. From time to time i'll download 5.5 and see if it works :p Thanks, Robert.

Hi, I don't imagine stuff, and I am not currently running tomcat under windows. I have used various versions of tomcat 5.0 and 5.5 on many different Operating systems (such as redhat, fedora core, ubuntu linux and windows xp) and many versions of java (quite a few different 1.4 and 1.5's). I have not claimed there is a problem with tomcat, i am asking for help as I do not know if I am doing somthing wrong. All i can say is that after following tutorials and using very standard Ant scripts (or the the tomcat manager application) I can easily 'reload' servlet applications on Tomcat 5.0.x. On every installation of Tomcat 5.5.x i have found that 'reloading' applications (in the same way I have done with 5.0) does nothing. Changes to classes are not reflected in the output of the application. To get anything to update I have to undeploy and install it again. There is nothing much more I can tell you. I could give you source code or my ant script, but source code is fairly irellevant and the ant script i am using is straight out of the tomcat getting started tutorial. The only configuration changes I have made to tomcat was adding a user in the users.xml! Although I am currently able to work around the problem by going and using version 5.0 this may not always be the case. I just wanted to find out if there were any issues or changes in this area and my searches on the internet have turned up nothing. - Robert.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Well to be more specific then I will give you an example of what I have tried as a test. I write a basic servlet that simply prints a line of text to the screen. If i compile it and deploy it, all is good. If I then make a modification to that that string in the source file, recompile then RELOAD (using ant), the servlet still outputs the ORIGINAL string (before the modification). The same thing happens If i recompile then press 'reload' in the tomcat manager application instead of using ant. If i perform the steps above on the latest tomcat 5.0 (rather than 5.5), the NEW string would be printed out after the reload. Any ideas? Coz i'm stumped. -Robert.

Re: Reload on Tomcat 5.5
Robert, Now that Remy has tested it in his perfect world, this gives some direction to work in. It would appear that with a basic setup, which we can only assume since Remy assured you that it works, that there must be a OS issue. I wonder what Remy runs? If you decide to dig deeper, I would layout the code for the two versions and see where they differ. Then with this information you could submit a bug report with all the details. Hopefully it could be changed unless there was a compelling reason. I am so glad that Remy pointed out that I was wrong, but had no explanation for why you were having problems. Considering that I was only suggesting a direction to look in. But then again if you had been running Windows then I may have been right. Don't let the snotty attitude get to you.

Re: Reload on Tomcat 5.5
Robert, I would like to apologize for allowing myself to get into a flame war on your thread. My original intent was to point out an area that I had noticed had gotten a lot of postings and sounded similar to yours. Most of the posts made reference to the cache or workfiles and thus that is also what I was referring to as a means for searching. Unless I am sure of something I always try to let the reader know that. That is why I said things like sounds like and you may be. I did mistype a word, I meant to say delete the folder instead of cache. Again, I apologize for letting myself get sidetracked. Now back on topic. If you are working on two separate machines for deployment and programming, you may want to ensure that both machine have the same time. It should not make a difference between 5.5 and 5.0 but may be worth checking.

Your main assertion is baseless 5.5 has a hard time letting go of the cache/workfiles. Do you actually know what you are talking about ? I suppose not. Doug, Thanks for all your assistance so far. I think i have discovered the cause of my problem. After deploying my application using the tomcat manager application on 5.0, the application is loaded from the directory that you specify in the WAR or Directory URL box. However, when you deploy on 5.5 using the manager, it seems to take a copy of the folder and put it under 'webapps'. So when I have been re-compiling my classes, they were being re-compiled into the orignal directory. Under tomcat 5.0's this is fine. But since the web application on 5.5 is running out of a copied folder, my changes are in fact going in the wrong place! I tried updating the COPY in 5.5 and it reloaded fine. It seems to be just a subtle difference in the way the manager on 5.0 and 5.5 works by default. Thanks again, - Robert.
