Hot Deploy?

Hello Folks,
    Is 'hot deploy' something that is being planned for Tomcat 4.0. I use
Tomcat with JBoss and do not use an EAR file to deploy to the combination
... instead deploy a server side jar for JBoss and the compiled classes for
Tomcat. If I stick to the current method of deployment will Tomcat 4.0
support automatic loading of modified classes?  Currently I get
ClassCastExceptions if I recompile classes - cause the classloaders get
confused I guess!

We fixed a huge number of CL related problems and bugs since b5, so you may 
want to try again with a recent nightly build.
