Tomcat 3 -- servlet reload issue -- pls help..



I don't have this problem in my Tomcat 5, but at work we're on Tomcat 3 (3.2.2.) when I make changes to a servlet I don't see changes unless I turn tomcat off and on... this is a huge pain, at work we can't be turning Tomcat off and on all day long whenever we make changes to a servlet.. Is there a way around this? (Does Tomcat 3 come with a Manager? I can't find manager-howto.html among docs (which does come with Tomcat 5, even though in Tomcat 5 I've never had a need to use it..;)

I do have this for every webapp in server.xml:

<Context path="/<nameOfWebapp>"
docBase="webapps/<nameOfWebapp>"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="true" >

so why won't servlets reload when I make changes to them? why does Tomcat have such a hard time reloading servlets and not JSP's? JSP's are also servlets!!

thank you,
Frances
