Follow the development environment recommendation set out in the Tomcat
application developers guide, which you can find at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/.
After you "install" your application into Tomcat, you can "reload" it on
demand without restarting Tomcat. I had experienced problems with stale
classes staying in memory in the past, but I have not had any problems since
using this new approach.
Quick tip: If you use the sample build.xml file provided in the Tomcat
AppDev manual, add the following lines to the section where the classpath is
constructed...
<fileset dir="${build.home}/WEB-INF/lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
...This will automatically include any JAR files that you have placed in
${web.home}/WEB-INF/lib (and which are subsequently copied to
${build.home}/WEB-INF/lib) into the classpath for you.

Subject: Ant - Tomcat deploy question
>
> Hi folks,
>
> I'm running TC 4.1.18, ANT 1.5, J2SDK1.4.0_01 on a W2K server - Tomcat is
> running as a service.
>
> When ANT places my "appName.war" file in the Catalina_Home/webapps
directory
> it doesn't deploy (i.e. unpack).
>
> I stopped and started the Tomcat service, that didn't deploy appName.war.
>
> However, if I stop the service - delete the webapps/appName folder -
execute
> the ANT deploy-app command again - this works.
>
> Why? What am I missing - better yet what do I need to read? I've read
some
> archive threads - do I really need to restart TC or appName using Manager
> after deployment?
>
> Please enlighten the newbie...
