I have a *similar* problem. None of my servlets are being reloaded using
Tomcat 4, b3. This includes the servlets in /examples context.
The only way I've been able to get servlets to reload (aside from
re-starting Tomcat) is to run /manager/reload?path=/<someContext>.
Apparently servlet reloading is completely broke in T4 b2/3.
