Yes. My development cycle is: 1) ant install (depends on the compile target, if needed) 2) test 3) fix something 4) ant reload (depends on compile target) 5) go to 2) unless its beer time, then go to 6) 6) ant remove I restart Tomcat itself only to upgrade versions or install new JAR files. This is all available with Tomcat 4.1, and documented as well: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/manager-howto.html http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/ Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
