What you are seeing is correct behavior, based on how Java and servlets work.
The first time you reference a class (your servlet, in this case), the object
code bytes of the class are loaded into the memory of the Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) running your servlets. The bytes are read from wherever it finds this
class on your classpath. Once the servlet has been read, the JVM finds it in
memory on subsequent references, so deleting it from your disk will have no
impact.

Some servlet engines support automatic reloading of servlets when they are
changed -- check the documentation for each engine to know if this feature is
supported. However, the JSDK 2.1 servlet engine is not one of those. The
stopserver/startserver process is the only way to do it with this server.
