Description

I am using eclipse, with maven plugin m2eclipse.

When I launch tomcat with tomcat-maven-plugin (V 1.1), pages don't reload when I modify them. I have to restart my web server to see the changes.

What I noticed when I modify a page :

• Tapestry is notified of a modification of the class file
• It flushes the old page instance and tries to reload the class file
• It in fact reloads the old version of the file -> it seems that Tomcat classloader gives the old class file inputStream in getResourceAsStream methods

I made a modification in ClassFactoryClassPool to get a clean new InputStream from the classFile, that fixed my issue, now pages are well reloaded when I modify them under Tomcat.
