It isn't really "the Context path", it's the Context tag, and it has a path attribute. reloadable is also an attribute in the Context tag. The Context tag tells Tomcat about a certain context (i.e. web application), and defines certain parameters/attributes for it. The path is the URL prefix that maps to that context. You probably don't need to worry about that now, but you should set reloadable to true if you want Tomcat to reload servlets without having to restart Tomcat. When it's set, Tomcat should notice when a servlet has been updated (via the timestamp) and reload it. Now, I believe that this only applies to the servlet class itself, not any auxiliary libraries, jars, or class files. So what you can try doing is touch'ing the servlet class file to update its timestamp, and that may cause Tomcat to reload the whole app, I'm not sure. (touch is a UNIXism -- not sure of the equivalent on Windows.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Nigh, Bill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 10:36 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Help!
