Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have the latest stable version i think
(5.5.9). I have tried this on older version too in the past and just
given up and gone back to 5.0. I just decided this time to see if it was
a bug or me missing somthing.
Basically i'm just trying to get classes to reload. Say i make a change
in what a particular servlet prints out to the browser, i want to see
that change. Nothing complex. At the moment i've just gone back to 5.0
and all is working ok. From time to time i'll download 5.5 and see if it
works :p
If you're not actually looking for help, and were just trying to
confuse people with your incorrect statements about an imaginary
problem, then please do not bother posting.
BTW, reloading works well, please do not claim otherwise without
posting factual data. Doug's post is also wrong, as there are no such
thing as "cache/workfiles" which would cause updating issues (the only
relevant thing you could be referring to is the locking issues when
redeploying on Windows).
Hi,
I don't imagine stuff, and I am not currently running tomcat under
windows. I have used various versions of tomcat 5.0 and 5.5 on many
different Operating systems (such as redhat, fedora core, ubuntu linux
and windows xp) and many versions of java (quite a few different 1.4 and
1.5's). I have not claimed there is a problem with tomcat, i am asking
for help as I do not know if I am doing somthing wrong.
All i can say is that after following tutorials and using very standard
Ant scripts (or the the tomcat manager application) I can easily
'reload' servlet applications on Tomcat 5.0.x. On every installation of
Tomcat 5.5.x i have found that 'reloading' applications (in the same way
I have done with 5.0) does nothing. Changes to classes are not reflected
in the output of the application. To get anything to update I have to
undeploy and install it again. There is nothing much more I can tell
you. I could give you source code or my ant script, but source code is
fairly irellevant and the ant script i am using is straight out of the
tomcat getting started tutorial. The only configuration changes I have
made to tomcat was adding a user in the users.xml!
Although I am currently able to work around the problem by going and
using version 5.0 this may not always be the case. I just wanted to find
out if there were any issues or changes in this area and my searches on
the internet have turned up nothing.
