Hi :-)
* I use the foolowing symbol to try to explain my question :-)
MyServlet(0): a old version of MyServlet
MyServlet(1): a new version of MyServlet
MyServlet(2): a newer(more) version of MyServlet
MyServlet(3): a newer(more more...) version of MyServlet
...
but: as a file, all MyServlet(i)s have the same name: MyServlet.class
* if:
- MyServlet(0) is in MyJar.jar
- MyJar.jar is in WEB-INF/lib
- and at the same time, MyServlet(1) is in WEB-INF/classes
* then:
- when I start TC4.0-b5, and "make the first-time invoking to
myapp/servlet/MyServlet", MyServlet(1) is loaded and invoked.
from the following email, I can explain it:
//***************************************************
...
(2.3 requirement only) Classes and resources in /WEB-INF/classes
override classes and resources with the same name under
/WEB-INF/lib.
...

//***************************************************
* but:
- now I update MyServlet in WEB-INF/classes: I copy
MyServlet(2) into myapp/WEB-INF/classes to replace MyServlet(1)
- I don't change anything in WEB-INF/lib
* now I find:
- if I don't restart TC4.0-b5, I can not auto-reloading MyServlet(2):
MyServlet(1) is still invoked
- if I restart TC4.0-b5, now MyServlet(2) is invoked
* if I delete MyJar.jar, and restart TC4.0-b5, now auto-reloading works:
I can auto-reload MyServlet(i)
* I guess the reason is:
- if MyServlet(0) is in a jar file in myapp/WEB-INF/lib, it will be
"overrided"
by the another MyServlet(i) which is in myapp/WEB-INF/classes
- but perhaps it will "prevent" auto-relaoding of MyServlet(i) which
is in
myapp/WEB-INF/classes
- this is not a "frequency-case", because people will not put
MyServlet both
in WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib, several days ago I put
MyServlet(0)
in MyJar.jar in WEB-INF/lib for a testing, but I forgot to delete it
after I finish
the testing, but today I try to update MyServlet(i) in
WEB-INF/classes, and/but
I find I can not auto-reload it, finally I delete MyJar.jar, now I
can auto-reload
MyServlet(i) :-)
