jsp on Tomcat

[Maziar Aflatoun]

Hi everyone,

I'm really new to jsp (and java). Is there a way to automatically pick up
newly compiled class files. I have a .jsp page which calls a class file
(using Beans). Everytime I modify the .java file my .jsp complains of
missing methods...etc. Once I restart the service everything becomes fine.
Is there a way to setup Apache Tomcat to automatically pickup the changes in
my class.

Thank you
Maz.

Check the server.xml in the conf dir, to contain the following:

* In the <Host /> elements, the attribute autoDeploy should be present with
its value set to "true"

* <DefaultContext reloadable="true"/>

What will also help, is to touch the files, so Tomcat will detect updates.
