RE: Tomcat 3 -- servlets don't reload..
I has been quite a while since I have used Tomcat 3.3.x. My recollection is that accessing the changed servlet would trigger a reload of the webapp. This differs from the newer Tomcats which have a background thread checking for changes. Also, with a default configuration, I don't recall anything special that was needed beyond setting the context to be reloadable. I can't say why this isn't working for you. As for the manager, Tomcat came with an admin webapp. However, it never got far enough along to be worthy of its own manual. It's mentioned briefly in the User's Guide, but I think that is about it. If you want a real manager/admin webapp, you will need to upgrade to a newer Tomcat.

Re: Tomcat 3 -- servlets don't reload..
thank you very much Larry.. oh brother, my boss insists there's a way.. there HAS to be a way.. how can a servlet container be designed that only reloads servlets when you restart it? ok, thanks again...

You should tell your boss that 3.2.2 is a fossil :). You really should upgrade your Tomcat version if you want this. Larry's answer was for 3.3.2, where the /admin webapp is primitive, but usable.

Frances I do have this for every webapp in server.xml: Context path=/nameOfWebapp docBase=webapps/nameOfWebapp crossContext=false debug=0 reloadable=true so why won't servlets reload when I make changes to them? (again, this is on Tomcat 3, 3.2.2, to be precise..) thanks again.. Frances - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
