That depends on your configuration and the exact timing of the reload.

If the request is accepted for processing before the reload, then the
user should notice nothing -- the webapp will complete all in-progress
requests before it shuts down.

If the request is accepted during the re-load, the user might get a 503
or 500 error, depending on exactly when the request comes in.

After the reload, the request should be handled normally.

If you are using server sessions, and you are not using a
PersistentManager to save the sessions to a file during webapp reloads,
then any active sessions will be lost during the restart. If you are
using FORM-based logins, then you will also lose those logins and your
users will have to re-authenticate. If you are using BASIC or
CLIENT-CERT authentication, then the user should not have to
re-authenticate, but the user's session will still be gone.

Finally, if you have stored any objects in a user's session that are not
Serializable, then that session will certainly be lost during the
restart... and might possibly preclude the loading of /all/ sessions
(meaning that one bad session could disable session persistence across
restarts entirely).

Hope that helps,
