My experience is that if a .class file has been loaded by the WebappClassLoader and it gets updated, the webapp is reloaded. The same is true of a .class file loaded from a .jar file in WEB-INF/classes: if the .jar file changes, the webapp is auto-reloaded. I can observe this behavior in both 5.5(.25/.26/.27/.28) and 6.0(.26). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwFETIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDEhQCeJLBfvpfIjF/a3NEYeCRRegkX O/kAn0R05Ze3qyUrqHQTsTCFRlE+B3CL =SYs8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
