How about this trick then. Whenever I recompile a library under tomcat/lib, I also "touch" an "empty" .jar file under WEB-INF/lib.
That seems to work, BUT: it states: Jun 29, 2010 2:08:36 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext reload INFO: Reloading this Context has started but a <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> servlet does not fire again. What's the explanation.
