Tomcat Debug - Change in class results in restart [message #132303]

Hi,

i started working with eclipse 3.1 and the wtp 0.7. When debugging a
webproject and modify a class the tomcat-thread will be restarted. That
means a new login, navigation to the test point and so on. In eclipse 2.x
there was a class replacement at runtime - it worked most of the time. How
can I activate that feature or is it gone forever?!

I think you must make sure that your web module has the "Auto reload"
flag set to "Disabled". You can set this flag via your "Web Modules"
configuration (double click on your server or select "open" in the
context menu of your Servers view, then switch to "Modules"). Changing
this flag which will set the "reloadable" attribute for your
application's Context in tomcat's server.xml file to false. This works
for me with JDK1.5 and Tomcat 5.5. (I think that otherwise Tomcat
detectes a (class) file change when Eclipse recompiles the source file
and then reloads the context).

(Note: in my local environment (linux) the server.xml-file is somtimes
not updated when I change this flag via the gui. In those cases I remove
the whole server configuration and create a new one. Ugly but only a few
mouse clicks).

Hope that helps !
