tomcat won't reload my servlets!

Hi,

I've done what you suggest:
This is my servlet:

##################################
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Test extends HttpServlet
{

public void init() throws ServletException
{
System.out.println("loading");
}
/**
* Returns an HTML form to the client prompting for
their name
* and e-mail address.
*/
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException
{
//set MIME type for HTTP header
response.setContentType("text/html");

//get a handle to the output stream
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

out.println("<HTML><HEAD>");
out.println("<TITLE>Topic 3 Exercise 4 p. 14 Study
Guide</TITLE>");
out.println("</HEAD>");
out.println("<BODY>");
out.println("<H1>Hello 2 changes</H1>");
out.println("</BODY></HTML>");
out.close(); //always close the output stream
}
public void destroy()
{
System.out.println("get rid of");
}
}
#########################################
I compile it and place in ROOT/WEB-INF/classes

I run catalina.
it loads the servlet fine
I change some text in the servlet.... recompile

then in the console window I get:
#################################
WebappClassLoader: Resource
'/WEB-INF/classes/Test.class' was modified; Date is now:
Wed Aug 20 13:24:30 CST 2003 Was: Wed Aug 20 13:21:45 CST
2003
get rid of
##################################
where 'get rid of' the text in my destroy() method,
but no reloading.

in fact in the browser window when I do a reload I get:
HTTP Status 503 - Servlet
org.apache.catalina.INVOKER.Test is currently unavailable

and I can't invoke any more servlets at all.

what am I doing wrong?

my servlet.xml file is as follows (relevant part):
######################################################
<!-- Define properties for each web application.
This is only needed
if you want to set non-default properties,
or have web application
document roots in places other than the
virtual host's appBase
directory. -->

<DefaultContext reloadable="true"/>

<!-- Tomcat Root Context -->

<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"
reloadable="true">
</Context>

########################################################

I really need to get tomcat to reload those servlets
otherwise it's useless!

thanks,

kind regards,
