Actually, according the Servlet 2.4 spec which I am just starting to read, this should not be true. SRV.3.7 Reloading Considerations (page 33) states ... "...any such implementation must ensure that all servlets, and classes that they may use, are loaded in the scope of a single class loader. This requirement is needed to guarantee that the application will behave as expected by the Developer." My understanding of this requirement is that there would be no way to reload a single servlet separately from the other servlets in the same context - a new Classloader would be created to load the new servlet, and all other servlets/classes in that context. But since I just started reading this, maybe I'm not understanding all the subtleties.
