Hi,
I'm new to JSP.
I desire to use the class reloadable="YES" feature in TOMCAT so that I
can develop my JAVA BEANS and quickly test them without restarting
TOMCAT for every little change.
I believe that the reloadable feature will not work if I inform the
system CLASSPATH where my JSP application classes are located. The
reason for this is that the once the SYSTEM CLASS LOADER loads my
classes the TOMCAT CLASSLOADER has no control and is unable to
unload/reload my classes.
Okay if I'm right on my understanding of this, then how do you setup a
development environment. In order for me to compile my JAVA BEANS using
JDK javac, I must tell JDK where my classes are located in the SYSTEM
CLASS PATH ... else it won't be able to pickup my custom packages that
are part of my application.
So is this like a trade-off? Compile JAVA BEANS or use the TOMCAT class
reloading feature - but not both?
Can someone please shed some light on how one should setup a development
environment? I would like to have the ability to compile and then test
with tomcat configured to reload classes.
Thank you,
Dennis
