deploy custom classes (task etc.) on tomcat require restart?

[galrub]

Hello all,

we are evaluating the use of the container, do we need to restart the
Server (Tomcat, run.start…) every we build the jar.
we already tried to copy the jar to the lib path of both the rest and explorer WEB-INF/lib but
the server only recognized the jar in the classpath after restart.

is this tomcat limitation or is it framework limitation?
can something be done?

Thanks,
G

Tomcat limitation, and basically, most of the container's limitations. Using OSGI, for example, can overcome this issue…
