Yes. That's a current restriction of the way that an application reload
is implemented (in org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext), not of the
manager webapp servlet itself.

No (and this works across shutting down and restarting Tomcat as well).
As a matter of fact, if your session attributes are Serializable,
they will get saved and restored as well. This is a tremendously helpful
feature when you're debugging a webapp that takes multiple interactions to
get to the page you're testing, you make a change, and don't want to take
the time to navigate from the top of your application's tree again.
Note, however, that this is a *Tomcat* feature, not anything required by
the specs, so you cannot count on it on any other server.
