Yes, what you are experiencing is probably normal behavior. The behavior you
describe is how Netscape Enterprise Server and servletRunner work. In
general, the server does not realod the servlet class files every time it
gets a request. The servlet classes are loaded once and stay loaded. The
only way to get the server to reload the servlet is to restart the server.
There are some servers that can detect and load new servlet class files. The
one I know about is JRun.
