The AppServer will complete all queued requests before shutting down, so it's most likely that you won't miss any requests. However, AutoReload is only being recommended for development at this point (i.e. the Webware team won't take any responsibility -- you're on your own. :) > Why restart the AppServer?

Due to dependencies between modules, it's not possible to figure out what all needs to be reloaded, nor is it possible to reload modules 100% cleanly. Just for example, consider a module which adds a global-level variable to itself when you call one of its functions. If you reloading this module the variable wouldn't be there anymore, but some other module might be expecting it. The only way for reloading to work in the general case is to restart the entire server. -- Jason D.
