the only way to get this behavior you want (changes to html files are applied without restarting tapestry), can be set with the -Dorg.apache.tapestry.disable-caching=true flag. here a snippet from the tapestry documentation:
If specified (as "true"), then the framework will discard all cached data (specifications,>>> !!!! TEMPLATES = html files !!!!!<<<<, pooled objects, etc.) at the end of each request cycle. This slows down request handling by a noticable amount, but is very useful in development; it means that changes to templates and specifications are immediately visible to the application. It also helps identify any errors in managing persistent page state. This should never be enabled in production; the performance hit is too large. Unlike most other configuration values, this must be specified as a JVM system property. how do you set the flag? consider that it MUST be set as system-property and MUST be set before tapestry has started.
