hi! i am not using ear/war/-files right now, but i am deploying my applications by putting my packages and classes into the \web-inf\classes directory my question is: is there a possibility to force the container to reload these classes without shutting down (=> user sessions should surivive, nearly no denial of service time) could you help me with this? thanks! joe _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
