What I've observed is that it only reloads the classes it *directly*
knows about.
I.E. it will reload amended Servlet classes and JSP files, but if they
then refer to other classes, these other classes will NOT be reloaded
if they change.
So you have to keep stopping and starting tomcat unless you use ONLY
simple JSP pages (with no other changing classes referred to ) and
servlets which use only stable classes.
