Re: Servlet re-load question - install fix

[Luke Vanderfluit <lu...@chipcity.com.au>]

Hi,

There's a bug in 4.1.27

there's a fix at the tomcat site,
4.1.27-hotfix-22096.tar.gz
I unzipped the fix somewhere neutral then created the directories by
hand and copied the class file in (otherwise tomcat would complain a bit
when starting)

Also you can use the manager app,
from the startup page of tomcat 
http://localhost:8080/index.jsp
choose manager 
if you can't get in you'll have to edit /$CATALINA/conf/tomcat-users by
adding admin,manager to one of the roles (it's in the documentation)
restart tomcat for this to take effect

then when in manager, you can easily stop and start webapps, which is
much faster than restarting tomcat,

but with the above fix tomcat detects the changed classes.

hope this helps
kind regards,
Luke
