Bob,
You just answered my follow up to your previous email :)
Hmm, so I run a concurrent version of my production app(being careful not to impact the databases) either on a different instance of Tomcat or just a different context within the same instance of Tomcat. Then when I'm ready I package up the source code into a WAR(what tool do I use for that? - must do research), copy it into the production servers webapps directory(and hopefully have all the configuration set properly to auto-expand) and then what? If the WAR is automatically expanded do the new files take effect immediately
or do I need to restart tomcat still. Does the context in the server.xml need reloadable="true" set for a WAR file expansion to take effect immediately?
Thanks for the info..connected some dots for me.
New Question (While I've got ya :): Given that I can use a WAR file to "deploy," would you advise using Tomcat 5.x as my test server, creating a WAR and then deploying that to a production 3.3.1 server? This would kinda let me test using 5.x and still support a 3.3.1 box. The app is very self-contained, except for a load of jar's in the lib.
Thanks for you time!! JW

The best advice I can give you is to investigate running your "test" application in a different context on the server. That way, you can recompile / alter the JSP files and everything else to your hearts content. IF that isn't possible, Tomcat runs quite nicely on my development machine where I can make changes without affecting anyone else.

Hello,
I'm running 3.3.1 (and yes, I'll be upgrading to 5.x in the next few weeks as time allows) and want to reload JSP files, but not any class files. The root of the problem is that during beta testing I'm making lots of changes quickly(to JSP and classes/beans), but my system is in use. Everytime I recompile a classes/beans class it forces everyone to re-login to my system(context reloadable="true"). Now, if I set reloadable to "false" the JSP files won't get recompiled...and I have to restart tomcat to effect the changes...no savings. Any ideas?
Thanks and Regards, JW
