The most reliable way to get tomcat to reload its servlets is to stop it, remove the work directory content and then restart it again, but that gets annoying when you're developing. Mind you, I have been trying to get this to work and have put quite a bit of hours into it already. I'm still not entirely convinced that I understand fully what tomcat does, but I'm also having a hard time believing that 3.2.3 is in this state, when they have been doing releases for 1 or 2 years? I mean how do other people use it to develop? Am I missing something or is tomcat really not good enough?
