Reloading a Struts app doesn't update form bean definitions

           Summary: Reloading a Struts app doesn't update form bean
                    definitions
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: milo@cyberlifelabs.com


When reloading a Struts app via 'ant reload', changes made to form bean definitions seem to 
go unnoticed. Performing a hard reload (i.e. 'ant remove' followed by 'ant install') causes the 
changes to take effect. 
 
The problem can be duplicated as follows: 
 
1) Create a form bean with one property. 
2) Create an action-mapping that uses the form bean. 
3) Create a JSP that uses <html:form> to post to the action-mapping and <html:text> to 
reference the property in the form bean. 
4) Build, install and test the app. All should be fine thus far. 
5) Add another property to the form bean. 
6) Add another <html:text> to the JSP that references the new property. 
7) Rebuild, reload and test the app. It should throw an exception complaining that the getter 
method for the new property cannot be found. 
8) Remove, re-install and test the app. Should work now.
