Howdy, Reloading the whole-app is very different from selectively reloading a set of classes. When you use the manager to reload as you suggest, you will also re-trigger the various initialization events (filters, servlets, etc.).
If that's what you want to do, then the manager reload is excellent. I personally like it a lot. However, if you want to reload just a specific class in place, that's more tricky. You'll probably have to subclass the ClassLoader itself to do what you want.
