HotDeploy not working with 1.1rc1

[Ronald Hulen <ro...@fanniemae.com>]

We recently upgraded our application from using struts 1.1b1 to using 
1.1rc1 and as such can no longer hot-deploy the application.  Hot Deploy 
was working with the 1.1b1 release.

We are using the hot-deploy feature in Weblogic 7.0 SP1 in an exploded 
ear format for development purposes.

The problem appears to be that the request processor is not being 
re-initialized properly.   We get the following exception when 
hot-deploying the application:

Note:  redeploying the application works properly.  However, re-deploy 
causes the JSP's to be re-compiled in WLS7.0 which is very time consuming.  

Has anyone seen this problem in 1.1rc1?
