Executing servlets using Tomcat

[Sudhir V]

Hi
I am using Tomcat as servlet container. I am having a problem. When I execute a servlet for the first time it works fine. But when I make some changes to the servlet, recompile it and when I execute it the changes does not seem to appear. I have to shutdown the Tomcat server and then restart it and then the changes in the servlet can be seen. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks
Sudhir

Check out the manager app to reload the servlet without having to shutdown and restart the container.

Hi
This is a more simpler way

However, note that having the servlet reload if the date on the servlet class changes does NOT correctly handle the situation in which you make changes to auxiliary classes. For that you need to totally reload the web application with the Manager App.
