** Does Tomcat need Restart **

[Pr...@itsindia.com]

Hi,

Is there any option in tomcat CONFIGURATION by which, I can instruct Tomcat
to restart automatically whenever a servlet gets modified (i.e. I
re-compile the servlet).

I am running Tomcat and Apache on Linux OS.

Regards,
Marathe

I'd add one other thing: Make sure the servlet classes are *not* on
the classpath (because then they'll be loaded by the regular
classloader, not tomcat's special classloader that can do reloading).

I'd like to offer two cents on this topic. I have seen both very successful
and very unsuccessful results when using servlet reloading on Tomcat. First,
make sure that the servlet classes reside in /webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes.
Next, make sure that the web.xml file in the  webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF folder
contains the appropriate entry to register the servlet. Finally, make sure
that the reloadable attribute for the given context is set to "true" in
/conf/server.xml.

Tomcat has demonstrated consistent success in reloading servlets that I
invoke directly from the CLI of my browser, following the above
prescription. If I try to vary this formula (place servlets in other
directories, package servlet classes together, invoke a servlet from another
servlet) servlet reloading seems to get hosed and I end up restarting Tomcat
in order to "see" the new class files.

This feature exists, it is defined by the reloadable parameter for the
Context. But it is an alpha version feature, so you always need to restart
Tomcat.
