If I understand correctly, you are describing moving a src file (ProfileServlet.java) under project/WEB-INF/src in your production Tomcat webapps directory. I know that am not sure why you believe that Tomcat will automatically compile your servlet source (I believe it will for a .jsp file)
The context parameter "reloadable" is defined as: Set to true if you want Catalina to monitor classes in /WEB-INF/classes/ and /WEB-INF/lib for changes, and automatically reload the web application if a change is detected. This feature is very useful during application development, but it requires significant runtime overhead and is not recommended for use on deployed production applications. ... It does not mention the source/src directory at all. I assume you are on the most current version of Tomcat, 5.5 - but the reloadable attribute was available in prior versions also.

I personally have tried it with my Eclipse development. Each time I have changed any servlet coding, the eclipse (or more specific, Tomcat) able to detect the changes and Reload for itself. But for my production, I am not sure how this is work. I have replaced my servlet, ProfileServlet.java to the [CATALINA_HOME]/webapps/project/WEB-INF/src/com/servlet folder. I login into my system; I didn't see any changes at all. So, any ideas how can is this reload features work in production machine? Do I need to issues any command for this? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
