So is it correct to say that .class or .jar files that are in WEB-INF/classes will automagically be reloaded without having to restart Tomcat, and that .class or .jar file in WEB-INF/lib will not be reloaded unless you restart Tomcat because they are part of the CLASSPATH? -M@ -- Matt Hixson Aventail Corporation Seattle, Washington
