Hello,
I am working on a webapp that was originally a war file. The war extracted to abc context. Some background: The war file when deflated (automatically) created a /abct/META-INF/context.xml and inside had the abc context information. I added reloadable=true like so there inside the META-INF directory. <Context reloadable="true" path="/abc"> Also, it put a context here: $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/abc.xml And inside I added the reloadable="true" here it is: <Context reloadable="true" path="/abc" /> Now also, I am using JNDI, so I added my JNDI <Resource ... stuff under web.xml and the context @ META-INF. But for whatever reason the JNDI could not find the databaseURL definition. So I added it to the $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/abc.xml and added the <Resource stuff there. Still no luck. Going against my grain, I added the full context under conf/server.xml and all is happy. So my database problem was solved. Anyway, now when I dump a new java class into the webapp, it does not reload ... it does something to the webserver and basically I end up with a 404 until I restart the webserver? This is killing me. I gave you the history above, because maybe having different context entries is screwing things up. Could someone please give a hand? Thanks,
