recompiling servlets

[vasah20]

How can I get tomcat to recognize when a servlet's been recompiled? I know I can restart it, but I really don't want to go that route. (apache 1.3.20 + tomcat 4 on Linux - mandrake 8.0)

server.xml:
<Context path=&quot;/leo&quot; docBase=&quot;webapps/leo&quot;
crossContext=&quot;false&quot; debug=&quot;0&quot; reloadable=&quot;true&quot; />

httpd.conf:
<IfModule mod_webapp.c>
WebAppConnection conn warp localhost:8008
WebAppDeploy examples conn /examples
WebAppDeploy leo conn /leo
WebAppInfo /webapp-info
</IfModule>

URL used (tomcat uses port 80):

http://localhost/leo/servlet/HelloWorld

TIA - leo

You can use the manager app that comes with later versions. 4.0.3 has it for sure. I have just started using it and am having some problems with tomcat not replacing my old class files but you might have better luck.

I've used tomcat 3.3.1 and tomcat 4..... i couldn't get any of em to recognize updates to the webapp properly without restarting server..... looks like it's time to make a homegrown script. make a .war file and script restart script and compile
