tomcat doens't refresh classes

[charly]

Greetings,

Here is my install :
Linux Mandrake
Tomcat 4.1.27
Server.xml :
<Context path="/myApp" docBase="myApp" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="false"/>

I work with eclipse. Source dir is in WEB-INF/java and classes are in
WEB-INF/classes

When I change the code of one of my servlet, I compile, save the file it the
classes dir.
I wait for 6 seconds, and tomcat says :
WebappClassLoader: Resource '/WEB-INF/classes/mvc/Controller.class' was
modified; Date is now: Wed Aug 13 15:36:47 CEST 2003 Was: Wed Aug 13
15:33:03 CEST 2003

Great

Now I refresh the page in the browser and :

I get either :
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /index.jsp(46,73) Unable to load class
errFormulaire

or class xxx is unavailable.

I've got to stop tomcat and restart it and this time, everything is ok....

Can someone help me please ?

many thx

Hi,

putting
<DefaultContext reloadable="true"/>;
in my "TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml" file does the trick for me.
The above comes after the declaration of mhy application base in the
server.xml
file (which may or may not matter)
<!-- Define the default virtual host -->
<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="HSP"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">


I start Tomcat (on Windows XP) with the following shortcut which opens a
console window.





\java\j2sdk1.4.1_02\bin\java.exe -jar -DHSP_LOG_DIR=C:\cant\HSP\logs -Dus
er.dir="C:\Tomcat" "C:\Tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar" start

When I rebuild any servlet, Tomcat prints, after several seconds,
WebappClassLoader: Resource '/WEB-INF/classes/hsp/Login.class' was
modified; Date is now: Wed Aug 13 10:48:33 EDT 2003 Was: Sun Aug 10 20:50:30
EDT 2003

Hope this helps.

I know I am supposed to define the reloadable attribute but it does not
work at all...

I'm still looking for info

I'm experiencing the same problem. When I recompile a class in
WEB-INF/classes, I can see a message in catalina.out that states the
resource was modified, but if I request the jsp page that calls a
method in the class, Tomcat reports that it can not compile the JSP
because the package is not found.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks!

You've probably fixed the problem by now. This message is meant as
reference for people that are experience the same Tomcat 4.1.27 (and
4.1.26)reloadable problems. The problem is caused by a Tomcat bug. A
hotfix has been released which is available from the URL's listed
below.

Hotfix:
