There is no way to refresh compiled classes loaded via the TomCat .\classes folder, that I'm aware of, other than to restart TomCat itself.
I think it would be possible if the classes were loaded via the .\webapps\soap\WEB-INF\classes, but that's not how Apache-SOAP seems to work... Please someone tell me I'm wrong <g> Note: I'm using TOMCAT v3.2.1, later versions may work differently. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Orloff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 5:05 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Empty Vector Returned > > > Chris, > > Thanks for the reply.
