In my experience, you do have to recompile your own classes... As for class reloading, Tomcat would automatically pick up my recompiled classes until 4.1.27, which would spit out all sorts of errors instead, and I'd have to restart.
I recently perused http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/tomcat-4/binaries/, and saw they added a hotfix which solved the problem. Get 4.1.27-hotfix-22096 from there or a mirror site, and uncompress it into your tomcat directory. -- Seth -----Original Message----- From: David Rees [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 3:56 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Classes not recompiling - Have to restart Tomcat On Wed, October 1, 2003 1at 2:49 pm, Shapira, Yoav sent the following >>From: Cunningham, Steven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >>Hi, I'm fairly new to tomcat, and though I'm not sure why, but tomcat >>won't recompile my classes while I'm working. >>I have to manually restart tomcat each time I want it to compile. >> >>Now a couple notes: >> >>Reloadable is set to true. >>JSP's recompile just fine when saved. >> >>Anyone have any ideas? > > Are there any errors in the tomcat log? I didn't know that Tomcat would compile classes for you... I always compile classes myself and then let the automatic class reloading pick up the changes. In practice, however, I have had problems with Tomcat noticing the changed classes as well, so I usually set reloadable to false and then manually reload the context using the manager webapp when I want to reload classes. -Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
