weblogic 5.1 dynamic class reloading

[dendenners]

Hello,
I'm doing my weblogic development on an aix box with WL 5.1 SP10 (all development is done using expanded classes under weblogic/myserver/servletclasses, for production we use WAR files). Each time I update a class while developing it seems I have to restart the server to get it to refresh it. I see in the weblogic.properties that there are servlet.classpath and servlet.reloadCheckSecs properties. However, even when I deploy my new classes under this directory, no update seems to take place and I still have to restart. Can anyone actually modify classes and deploy them without the time-consuming process of restarting the server?
Thanks

It is not possible to dymically load classes in WL5.1 because there is no class loader heirarchy. This can be achieved in 6.0 and later versions.
