In fact, Tomcat does support automatic reloading of classes.
When you declare a context, add a 'reloadable="true"' attribute:
<Context path="/admin"
docBase="webapps/admin"
reloadable="true"
trusted="false" >
See apps-admin.xml or server.xml for an example.
In Tomcat 3.2.1, this feature did not always work well, especially with
JSPs; in Tomcat 3.3 I cannot remember if it was enabled yet.
Un saludo,
