I like Tomcat's ability to reload a context when a change is made to one of my application's classes, but I'm having a problem with it reloading before the class has finished compiling. Is there a way to delay the reloading until all the files are ready?
I highly recommend doing all your compilation in a 'local' directory and then using a tool like ant (I hope you're already using ant!) to copy all the updated files.
This allows you to attempt a compile without disturbing a running server. (For example, if some of your files compile, but others don't you could disable your server -- even if it is only a test server).
Generally, the copy will take less time that the compile ;)
Hope that helps, -chris
