hi tomcat users, I�m thinking if anyone has a servlet or something in that way that reloads classes with out restarting tomcat. I�m using a servlet chaining mechanism that I wrote my self. the basic functionality is it has a starter servlet (that always gets reloaded) that reads an xml document that has the rest of the servlets in the chain specified and the parameters for those, and some different functionality in there. So the first servlet in the chain gets reloaded (probably because it get�s the request) but all the other servlets dont unless I restart the server. The Javabeans dont either get reloaded unless I restart the server. So now I�m thinking if there is a functionality within Tomcat that triggers reload on all of the classes available with out restart. Such a functionality is important in a developement face of a web (it�s timeconsuming to have to restart). I can probably write some class or a servlet that reloads by instanciating a new classloader..etc., but someone must have solved this already (right ?) how do you do it ? thanx, -r
