I'm using Tomcat 4.0 and when I update my class files I have to restart the server before they are active. My JSPs are fine as they are recomplied whenever they are changed.
Is there a way to force tomcat to reload classes without having to restart the server?
Thanks

Check this thread:

Just checked it myself... you might have to read the 'original' thread to get the flow of the topic, but trust me, it addresses your question. The 'original' thread is linked in my first post in the thread.

Hi there

have anybody ever wrote his own WebappLoader "implemented the org.apache.catalina.Loader" before?

what I am trying here to do is to implement my own Loader so that it does not reload all the webapplication again in case of modifying any class file in WEB-INF/classes, because what is the purpose of the className attribute in the Loader tag as descriped on the apache site

Loader

and do anybody believe that I can do it or it is just a fantasy :roll:
do any body also know where can I post this question "APACHE FORUMS" such as an example.

Apache uses mailing lists:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html

'Writing custom class-loaders' has been disscussed on the tomcat-user mailing list several times before so you may want to search it before asking the question.
