Server Restart To Add Beans?

[Kerry Wilson]

I have to restart my Tomcat server to get the Beans to work. Else, it causes a class not found error. Is there a setting for this somewhere. I have it setup to the default from the installation. Thanks in Advance.

The alternative to restarting is to use the Management application. This is documented in your Tomcat installation.
If Tomcat had to check the date stamps on every class file every time a servlet or JSP was accessed, it would really slow things down.
