is there any way to avoid stop/start of tomcat when a java file is mo

[kanitha80]

Hi all,

we are developing a tool where we use java files for mediation layer and jsp files for presentation layer. so whenever i do a change in any of my java source i need to stop/start the tomcat in order to get the latest change.

is there any way to avoid this kind of stop/start.... i want the changes to get reflected immediately after i compile the file.

Yes, depending on the version of Tomcat you are using, you either need to directly edit the server.xml file to set the reloadable="true" or in the admin app,

http://localhost:8080/admin

... for the appropriate context turn on that flag for the class loader property
