Hi :-)
* Servlet-auto-reloading in TC4.0b5
from my work, Servlet-auto-reloading works well, but just from my
testing, if I put MyServlet in both:
- WEB-INF/classes (unpacked class-style)
- a jar file in WEB-INF/lib (packed jar-style)
then when I updated MyServlet in WEB-INF/classes, I can not auto-reload
the new one. I have posted a email to describe my testing several days
ago.
in other cases, I can auto-reload MyServlet.
* UtilityClassUsedByServlet-auto-reloading
I remember(?) it is same with the above
* Jsp-auto-reloading
I didn't test
* UtilityClassUsedByJsp-auto-reloading
I didn't test
* reference email

The one and only place from which automatic reloading will work is
unpacked classes in WEB-INF/classes of your own web app. No changes
to any classes or JAR files *anywhere* else are recognized.
However, you can trigger a reload manually on any app -- whether or not
you've set the "reloadable" attribute -- by using the Manager
application.

my understanding to above email is:
- the 1st way for auto-reloading:
% first I need to set the "reloadable" attribute to "true" in
conf/server.xml
% packed class(jar) will not be auto-reloaded, no matter whereever thay
are
% only unpacked-classes(MyServlet, MyJSP?, MyUtility) in WEB-INF/classes
can be auto-reloaded
- the 2nd way for auto-reloading:
"by using the Manager application"
