server restart for any changes in servlets

[srshende]

Hello,
Whenever I am making any changes in Servlet those changes are not getting reflected unitll and unless I restart the jboss server. Why is it so.. Doesn't it take the hot deployment.
Moreover I am not getting from where does jboss sever keeps the servlet compiled class. Once the server is started, I deleted the class, server run with the old version of the class.

Thanks & Regards
Sanjay

are you deploying the servlets in a war/ear file?

[srshende]

No,
I am not deploying the servlet in .war/.ear files. I created one .war deirectory and in that I kept my servlet source file and also class file.
following is my directory structure.

D:\jboss-3.0.0_tomcat-4.0.3server\default\deploy\client.war

in client.war dir I have my .class file. I execute it using following command.

http://localhost:8080/client/servlet/SimpleServlet

But whenever I make any changes in the same file. Those changes do not get reflected untill and unless I restart the server.

Regds,
Sanjay

Touch the web.xml.

I'm using Jboss30 + tomcat41...

Look the file "tomcat41-service.xml" and add the reloadable attribute in the DefaultContext, like this:

<DefaultContext ... reloadable = "true" />

Hello again,

the solution didn't work...

I got a NullpointerException during the redeploy of the application:

There is some trouble in the class StandardContext, I think. When I wrote the solution, I didn't check the result. I'm sorry!

My solution now is using jmx even the application change:

1) Open the link: http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/HtmlAdaptor?action=inspectMBean&name=jboss.system%3Aservice%3DMainDeployer

2) Put the url of your application in "void redeploy(java.net.URL)", like "file:/c:/Work/deploy/application.war/"

3) Invoke redeploy().

Bye!
