I don't have the answer to why reloading isn't working, but I can recommend using the tomcat manager app to "remove" and "install" your app to freshen it. That doesn't require a restart of tomcat.
One important note though, if your webapp's main directly exists, this won't work. You have to blow away that directory after you "remove". I just have ant blow away the directory and drop a fresh .war in the webapps/ dir, then manager-remove, then manager-install. The only downside is that I haven't worked out why my db pool object doesn't release its connections. Thus, each time I do it I burn 3 database connections :) Michael --- Ray Letts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Below is a snippet from my conf/server.xml file. > From all the docs > I've read, and the examples, this should work. > However the tomcat class > loader does not recognize newly compiled class files > and still uses the > cached versions. > Can anyone spot a problem with the xml below?
