Has anyone ever had this problem? I have been compiling servlet files,
correcting them, recompiling them and seeing the changes on the
next URL request. So everything was going smoothly. Suddenly
I could no longer change the .class files. That is, they were changed
but the URL was apparently calling a cached version which would
not update. When Apache was restarted, it would then finally update.
Needless to say this is very undesirable behavior and its sudden
mysterious appearance is very puzzling. (To prove that it was a
cached version, I deleted all copies of both the class and java
files from the server and the URL call still worked!...until apache
was restarted.)

A servlet's class files are never transmitted. Therefore, if they are
cached, it is the servlet container that is doing the caching. It
doesn't make sense not to cache the class files and keep them loaded
because in a production environment requests come in more often than
the class files are changed.
Since you mentioned apache, I'm going to assume you are using the
Apache tomcat servlet container. Tomcat has settings which dictate
whether it should check the class files each time a request comes in
or not to. In the latter case, you will have to reload the servlet
either by using the manager interface or by restarting the server.
If you are using a connector through to the Apache HTTPD server,
restarting the http server will have no effect on the state of the
servlet.

Yes, I discovered the problem. I inadvertantly put the servlet directory
in the classpath (listed it in the properties file). This caused it not to
check
for new files, so it never updated the cache. I was surprised because I
never thought that any configuration would ignore the class file on disk.
But I guess it is sometimes desirable to do so for performance reasons.

Let's say I have an html form with 20 or 30 fields in it. The form
submits the fields via POST to a php page which updates a table in a

2) running a second SELECT statement and comparing the $_POST vars to
