Hi,
it is not possible to make Tomcat automatically compile and deploy your servlets.
Usually this is not necessary. If you use a good IDE, it is no great effort to compile your servlets. Deployment could be done by using an Ant script - just copy the servlet-binaries in the correct directory and reload your web application (if auto-reloading is disabled). The required Ant-tasks are included in the tomcat binaries.
The entry in web.xml must be done by hand, but you have to do that just once. So the cases where auto-compile and -deploy are required are really rare!
Best regards, Tex
Hi,
I've just installed Tomcat 5.5 and I have two main doubts and I hope someone may help me.
1. Do I really have to compile a servlet manually using javac (or using another tool) or may I save it in a specific folder so Tomcat compiles it to me?
2. Do I really have to register my servlets in web.xml file or this process can be done automatically by Tomcat?
When I did the test with jsp pages, it was not necessary compile or register the file (Tomcat did everything to me) so I expect the same with servlets.
Thanks,
Julio
