tomcat servlet reload

Re: tomcat servlet reload

I've run into this problem before as well, and never found a good
answer. It seems that Tomcat has a thread that looks at the currently
deployed webapps and reloads any class and jar files as needed. The
problem is that this doesn't happen often enough.

In the end, it took less time to restart Tomcat. I had by ant script
deploy into the webapps directory when ever I did a build, then I
created a script to restart Tomcat that looked like this:

%JAVA_HOME%\bin \java.exe -jar -Duser.dir="C:\T omcat 4.1" "C:\Tomcat
4.1\bin\bootstr ap.jar" stop
%JAVA_HOME%\bin \java.exe -jar -Duser.dir="C:\T omcat 4.1" "C:\Tomcat
4.1\bin\bootstr ap.jar" start

If you find a better solution, please post it to the group.

Re: tomcat servlet reload

mmh yah.. i guess the only solution is putting a script to the build editor
you are using.
every time it compiles it restart the webapp.

that's strange since i think i'm not the only one who develop under
tomcat/servlet.
maybe commercial containers works more well.

thnx
