This is awkward.. if live class reloading (LCR) doesn't work on Tomcat, and 
Glassfish, because JBoss uses Tomcat under the covers, I'd guess that it 
doesn't work on JBoss either. Although I haven't used webLogic or Websphere, I 
can't make an intelligent guess on whether it works there or not.. But it seems 
very misleading to state in the docs that T5 has LCR, if it doesn't work with 
probably 50%+ of the java app servers/servlet containers (I guess that Tomcat, 
Jboss, and glassfish cover probably 75%+ of java web app developers). If Tomcat 
had a miniscule market share, then one could be justified in saying 'T5 works, 
Tomcat is broken', however w/ things being as I described the majority of 
deployed T5 apps don't support LCR.  

Now, if Jetty is the only setup that works reliably (that is LCR w/o having to 
redeploy), wouldn't it serve everyone best to clearly state that in the docs? 
That is, the docs should explicitly describe that this is a special setup for 
development purposes that works only w/ Jetty (or at least clearly state that 
it doesn't work w Tomcat, Glassfish, Jboss, etc)? I understand that it is abit 
unfair to T5 as it was intentionally designed to support LCR; however the docs 
are most useful when they describe things accurately .

What does everyone think? Should I file a jira issue for this?

cheers,

As far as I know, Tapestry's live class reloading never really worked in  
Tomcat (because of it, not because of Tapestry), but I haven't tested it  
for a while. I don't know about Glassfish.
