In the course of development, I am often needing to have changes to custom
classes seen within an XSP. Having to restart Tomcat or reload the cocoon
webapp is painfully slow.
Say for example I have a simple class "EchoHello.class" located in
WEB-INF/classes/test that has one method that returning the String "hello".
>From within an XSP page I invoke it via "EchoHello hello = new
>test.EchoHello();String str = hello.echo();"
If I make changes to EchoHello.class and want those to be seen in my XSP, I
have to wait forever because they won't be seen unless I reload the entire
webapp. This really adds up when testing class changes hundreds of times.
I have seen some references to using a custom classloader, but I have no idea
how to go about that from within an XSP page. Can someone steer me in the
right direction?
