Hello again SANGAMESHWAR
In the servlet.xml config file you will see the
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"

The autoDeploy="true" means the sevlet will reload if anything is changed under WEB-INF So if you drop another library class in, or say change web.xml, that servlet will restart WHEN IT IS IDLE. If you have a thread running in a background process, then I dont think it will ever restart.

Its clever but it does mean Tomcat has to rev up all over again and on a busy server thats probably not a good thing.

Other alternative is to make a plugin, and load up the classes yourself... maybe able to find a standard one, if writing a classloader seems like too much work. Or you can try my software HARBOR at http://coolese.100free.com/ it allows you to control the reloading of classes.

Just out of curiosity, why is it that your beans need to change... why couldnt you just have them read from a dB or somthing?
