Subject reloading ok?
Date Fri, 12 May 2000 16:00:49 GMT
Ok, this list-lurker is confused...

I thought there was something documented about classes not reloading
similiar to what was mentioned below (I can't get to jakarta.apache.org
at the moment and verify).

Maybe I'm behind on the powercurve : )

So reloading should work fine whether you use tomcat standalone and in
conjunction with other webservers (in particular apache) due to the same
AdaptiveClassLoader that is used from Jserv.

thanks!

P.S.  Yes I did download 3.1 and run some tests and everything worked
fine, a little assurance though would make me feel better!

That's not true. We use the AdaptiveClassLoader from JServ and it does
check all the classes, not only the servlet.
