I apologize if any of this is repeated from any responses to your earlier post:
It can't hurt to package your servlet. It's good practice, it's what most people do, and it's probably the most 'supported' in terms of wanting help from people on this list. ;) Your context declaration has a space in the path attribute. path=" " should be path="" When you say: "and I can 't invoke any more servlets at all." Do you mean in ANY context, or just yours? Is there further output in any of the logs regarding the context failing ? Have you tried to reload the context through the manager app? (You shouldn't need to do this, but have you tried?) If it's Tomcat 4.1.27, there's a known class reloading issue. This normally applies to restarting a context, but it *might* be related. Have you applied the hotfix ? Finally, are you sure the changes are 'valid'? Meaning, it doesn't introduce an infinite loop that kills your server? > -----Original Message----- > From: Nobert,Conrad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 12:59 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: tomcat won't reload my servlets > > > Hello, > > I have the exact same issue that was posted about 20 days > ago.
