Just what are you supposed to do to make Resin notice source has
changed and recompile a servlet?

It is truly necessary to shutdown, delete class files and restart?

Even when I do that, often I still get the previous version code. I
makes YET another copy of the class file somewhere besides the classes
directory.

I put a dummy doGet method in that just returns the version. That way
I can see compile errors, and can quickly tell if the Servlet is
loaded and what version it is.

I think for debugging you need a stripped down Servlet womb that can
be started and stopped very fast or that has no caching.

So Roedy.. Do these posts actually mean
you are about to progress to server-side
generation of your pages?

[ (chuckles) your recent descriptions of what it
takes to generate yout site sent chills down my
spine. It would be *sooooo* much simpler if you
move your site to being generated by JSP/Servlet.
(..though I realise that all depends on your host) ]

Not really. The code is almost the same. One advantage of my technique
is the way it can maintain a local mirror for you that does not
require a server.

The index generation is not something you would want to do on every
page request, even if cached.
