You are currently going to have problems using the auto-reload feature like this :-(.
The reason is that Tomcat 3.2 does *not* completely restart the current web app when
it reloads the servlet classes, so the servlet context attributes are the ones from
the "old" classloader. This is a fundamental problem with the way that reloading works
in 3.2.
Tomcat 4.0 does this correctly, because it completely reloads the web app when a
reload is performed.
