What Is The Criteria For Reloading objects and JSP Pages?

Question

I have a JSP application that consists of many HTML, JSP & JavaBean files.
          Since I am in the middle of the development phase I am making lots of
          modifications to the code. I've noticed that much of the time if I recompile
          a JavaBean into a class file WebLogic does not reload the updated class.
          In my weblogic.properties file my servlet reload property is:
          C:/weblogic/myserver/servletclasses
          All my JavaBean class files reside in a sub-directory of that directory. For
          example:
          C:/weblogic/myserver/servletclasses/org/hhmi/award/JavaBean1.class
          How come these beans don't get reloaded each time? Is there a different
          WebLogic property I should use? What is the criteria for re-loading a class
          file anyway?
          Thanks in advance,
          Matt
          

Answer 1

BTW, I tried this in 6.1 and it does reload modified classes in
          WEB-INF/classes, but, sure enough, it results in ClassCastException's etc, for
          example:
          <%
          Foo foo = (Foo)session.getAttribute("foo");
          session.setAttibute("foo", new Foo());
          %>
          will result in ClassCastException if Foo was modified.
          So, if 6.1 tracks class modifications, then why doen't it trigger application
          redeployment? It can definitely be more convinient than touching 'REDEPLOY'
          file.
