OK. The problem was that the server needs to be restarted each time a servlet is recompiled. Doing this as root is somewhat not the best thing to do from a security point of view. Is there any way that I can give all users on the system permission to create their own servlets and run them? How can I configure tomcat to allow for such a configuration?
I am looking for a configuration where a command like http://localhost:8080/~janesmith/servlet/HelloWorldServlet will access janesmith's HelloWorldServlet in some standard location such as ~janesmith/tomcat/HelloWorldServlet.class or something like that.
