Immediately under a webapp directory is not an appropriate location for class files - ever. They should go into webapps/[appname]/WEB-INF/classes, as defined by the servlet spec. > However, I am not necessarily restarting an app; I > wish to restart Tomcat. Why? There's no reason to do so, if all you're doing is updating the app. Restarting Tomcat requires running the shutdown and startup scripts. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
