Reloadable attribute not working
When I update a servlet class and it gets compiled automatically into
WEB-INF/classes, my context does not reload automatically. It is only when I
restart Tomcat that the changes to the servlet are viewable.
I am using Tomcat 6 and have set reloadable to true in context.xml in my
META-INF/context.xml file.
I'm running Tomcat 6 embedded, where I use the Bootstrap class to start the
server initially.
Why might this not be working?
Thanks.

I tried looking through the startup.bat file for standalone Tomcat and still
cannot seem to figure out what the difference is between what that file is
doing to startup Tomcat properly, and what I'm doing wrong with embedded
Tomcat from my class below. (It's calling the same startup classes that I'd
be calling, right?)
Any thoughts?

RE: Reloadable attribute not working
Posted by lightbulb432 <ve...@hotmail.com>.
I know the cause of the problem - my use of embedded tomcat. When I tried it
with the standalone Tomcat, it works fine. What I'm confused about, then, is
how to fix the following code to make it work like standalone Tomcat. I'm
using Tomcat 6.
I'd be very surprised if this I'm not doing something wrong and this is a
limitation of embedded Tomcat.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Bootstrap bootstrap = new Bootstrap();
bootstrap.setCatalinaHome(path1);
bootstrap.setCatalinaBase(path2);
try {
bootstrap.init(new String[] {"-config","conf/server.xml"});
bootstrap.start();
Thread.sleep(10000000);
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Also, nothing is appearing underneath
CATALINA_BASE/work/Catalina/localhost/myapp, regardless of the number of
servlets or JSPs I've deployed and accessed, and regardless of whether it's
with standalone or embedded Tomcat.

Not having run an embedded Tomcat, I don't know if that's normal or not.

Don't know - the invoker servlet should never be used. It's only there
for compatiblity.

They're only generated for .jsp files; do you have any in your webapps?

Security holes all over the place. It's really a bad idea.

There's no folders under CATALINA_BASE/conf, but I have a guess as to what's
going on and perhaps you could comment.
I'm using the invoker servlet - could that be a reason, or does it have
nothing to do with this?
Also, could it be why no .java and .class files are generated in my "work"
directory?
What other effects might one expect using the invoker servlet?

Does a conf/Catalina/[host]/[appname].xml file exist? (I don't actually
know if embedded uses a conf directory.) Such a file would override the
one in META-INF/context.xml in a non-embedded Tomcat.
