JSPs (and probably related technologies) have their own ClassLoader and the manager within Tomcat (or the component that manages them) generally looks for changes, recompiles, and re-loads the individual page (or whatever) without a context reload. All other changes require a context (webapp) re-load. Basically, unless your particular technology supports automatic re-loading of the resource in question, you will have to re-load your webapp. Tomcat, if configured to do so, will automatically re-load the context if certain things change: WEB-INF/lib/*.jar, WEB-INF/classes/**/*.class, and WEB-INF/web.xml will trigger an automatic re-load of the context. There may be others as well (such as META-INF/context.xml). I believe that the only thing Tomcat can re-load without re-loading the entire context is JSPs. If you are using another technology on top of Tomcat (such as Facelets), it's up to that library to determine whether this capability is available. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGSzpV9CaO5/Lv0PARArnMAJ44GunwoN1EuaChr9R0fKpHC16JpACgr7/4 /gfu4GPTUUpcdYw0oN3sUqQ= =nhEc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
