Hi Dale,
Thanks for replying. I didn't quite understand the last bit of your answer. Anyway, in the docs for WTE, it states that for default.servlet_engine under tag <auto-reload enabled="true" polling-interval="3000"/> :
"Controls whether classes within a Web application are reloaded when a change is detected. blah..."
When I had Tomcat integrated with VAJ IDE, that was able to pick up an altered class file on the workspace without any probs. I think I must be missing something......
