Do you have your context defined in server.xml? Did you use
'reloadable="true"'? (That should be default, anyway.)
My first/best guess is that your servlets are on your classpath
(perhaps instead of or in addition to being available to tomcat), and
hence is being loaded by the system classloader, and hence is not
subject to reloading.
