Restart Tomcat when recompiling servlet?

[Christian Hanke]

Hi,

I have to restart my tomcat 4.1.27 everytime I recompile a
servlet althought I set the reloadable="true" flag of
the context in server.xml.
Tomcat tells me that the class has changed but displays
an 503 (servlet not available) when invoking it.

Is there anything else I have to set?
Thanks for any help!!!

I don't use reloadable, I just reload the context using the manager app.
You definitely don't have to restart Tomcat. See:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/manager-howto.html

Thanks for you answer.
Reloading it from the Manager leads to an
"*Application* currently unavailable" untill I restart
tomcat. What Version are you using?

Did you install the hotfix for 4.1.27? There was a bug with reloading. At
this point, probably better to move to 4.1.29 anyway.
