This is a common problem I have had at past employers.
What we do now at my company is give everyone Tomcat, it's free right?
We have what is called a "Deploy Manager" or "Build Manager".
Once a week the DM (or BM) will take the most recent checked-in code from
Microsoft Visual Source Safe, move that to the Test server, and then we
start Regression testing. We want to make sure everyone's code works with
everyone else's. That one server can be started or stopped without bothering
everyone else.
By having everyone use VSS (or some other Source Control tool) we check in
only working code. Everyone daily pulls down the latest code and in a way
does their own regression testing on their own machine making sure their
code works with everyone elses.
The final say is when the BM or DM pulls does their Regression testing. At
least once a week, we know everyone's code is working together.

Subject: tomcat, and servlet testing in a multi-user environment
> Hi!
> We are several programmers who are programming servlets and jsp on our
tomcat server, and each time we modify a servlet or a jsp, we have to
restart tomcat so it takes in consideration our changes, and our problem is
that we are working everyone from his computer at the same time, so when
someone has made some changes and he wants to restart tomcat, it annoys the
others who may be testing their servlet.
> So is there a way to make tomcat aware of new changes without restarting
it or should we install a tomcat on everyone's machine ?
> Thanks!
