Thanks Craig, Glad to know I can add a servlet without having to restart the entire server! I'll try a redeploy for the next servlet I add.
As for the sessions, prior to installing this servlet, they were in fact getting dropped each time I reloaded with the manager. I was forced to login again with every start-stop. Could this be because the webapp was strictly JSP, with no servlet component? --- "Craig R.
