does anyone know how to reload servlet in tomcat?

when do I actually reload it? when I modify any file in this server?

From my poor memory, I think Tomcat has a manager Web application that allows a servlet to be reloaded while the server is still running. By default it is installed with Tomcat and you need to change the Tomcat configuration to allow a user to access it. Please look at the Tomcat documentation for details.

Otherwise, you can always shutdown the server and start it again then the servlets must reinitialize.

I think you only need to reload a servlet if you have made changes to the .class'es. If you just update some resources (e.g. images, HTML files etc.) then you don't need to reload the servlet. You also do not need to reload a servlet if you have just updated the JSPs.
