Hi Achim, I don't think it reload all the context as the reload is immediately effective. It works for component ( cocoon, struts ), I've just tried with servlet with this code, and it's okai. http://www.orcades.net/contrib/reloader-webapp.zip . The server.xml is the vanilla one.
IMHO it this useful behaviour is eclipse concerned ( Dark Classloader story perhaps ). If you find a better explanation I'm interested ;} On Fri, 2005-01-21 at 14:09 +0100, Joachim Wackerow wrote: > Olivier > > This sounds interesting and like a great help for the development.
