Although Tomcat3.1 supports auto-reloading of servlets = i=20 cannot really enjoy it becuase every time i recompile

i get ClassCastException and i need to restart the = Engine to=20 get things working.

I am using Model2 design pattern which means that i = have=20 plenty of Database beans and just 1 servlet controller and of course = plent of=20 JSPs. The ClassCastException happens when i recompile a Database bean or = the=20 controller.

Does it have to do with the fact that i have almost = all of my=20 .jar libraries (JDBC driver, mail.jar, jndi.jar etc.) in the System = Classpath=20 which i set in the tomcat.bat script , instead of the the WEB-INF/lib = directory=20 ?

In fact i do not use at all the WEB-INF/lib directory. =

I have all my servlets and database beans in WEB-INF/classes = .
