That does not necessarily solve the problem. We were running Tomcat 3.1/3.2 for close to 12 months with reloadable=true set, and yet tomcat would not reload class files without restarting...
My recommendation would be to upgrade to tomcat4, will solve all your problems... the upgrade is not hard.

Or can some changes in server.xml do the trick? I have Apache 1.3.19, Tomcat 3.23 installed, configured and running on RedHat Linux 6.2 platform. Waiting for an early response. Thanks in advance.
