This reloadable parameter has been the real crux of all the discussion. It
seems like there's at least five postings a week asking "I set reloadable
="true" but it still doesn't reload my classes." I'm not sure I've ever
heard a reliable answer concerning this... most people seem to think it
just plain doesn't work. (Possibly it only works for classes that extend
HttpServlet, as JRun used to do). That in turn seems to cascade into a lot
of confusion about whether the manager/reload?path=<web app> functionality
you discovered works either (it does of course). I think it's all
definitely something for the FAQ... if there is a FAQ...

Please respond
to "Tomcat Users

Mike,
>From my experience, javabean will not be reloaded even with reloadable
="true". I have
reloadable="true" on my web app, and it would not reread the classes until
I used shutdown.sh and
startup.sh. Maybe I didn't have something set up right. Here is a snipet
from my server.xml:
<Context path="/trips" docBase="trips" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="localhost_trips." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>
</Context>
Let me know if you see anything wrong. Thanks.
