Reload modifed servlet

[Bob Riaz <br...@mum.edu>]

Hello all,

My environment:
Windows XP-Pro
Tomcat 6
JDK 6
Eclipse JEE IDE

I find that whenever I make a change to my servlet, I need to
"Clean/Rebuild" the project in order for the changes to take effect. Even
restarting Tomcat doesn't take the change. It didn't used to be this way!!
I've set reloadable="true" in Context.xml - doesn't help. This is the
situation on one machine. On a different machine using the same environment
I don't have this problem. Something about the way Tomcat was configured on
this machine then?
If anybody's had this probelm, please share your thoughts!

Many thanks.

Bob

Since you need to do a clean/rebuild, which is an operation that occurs 
on the webapp building side, i'll tend to say it's not related to tomcat 
but more on the way your build process workd, it may be that it fails to 
see the servlet need a recompilation on the developer's IDE. Compiling 
servlet is outside of tomcat scopes.

Note: on windows environments, the .class files, when they are opened by 
tomcat won't be rewritable unless you stop tomcat. To update a webapp 
you have to unload it first. If you have classloader leak in your 
webapp, you even have to stop tomcat after that before updating files. 
There is a config option in context.xml to prevent this (i don't 
remember it's name) and allows updating on running tomcat on windows 
platforms. It's due to the way OS automatically locks files when you 
open them (you don't have such problems on other paltforms)
