Detection and reloading of modified class files in work directory.

           Summary: Detection and reloading of modified class files in work
                    directory.
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.25
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: alan.flisch@becogent.com


I would be useful if manual modifications of the contents of the work directory
could be detected causing the classes to reload.

I think this would help allow precompiling without requiring a bounce of the
context.  At the moment if you want to precompile and deploy a set of JSPs that
include some that already exist then you must bounce the context to force it to
either reload the contents of the work directory or (if you are adopting the
recommended Ant based approach) to reload the modified servlets and updated
web.xml file.

In my tests, I have established that this applies to Tomcat 5.0.25 running on
WindowsNT/2K.
