Hot Class reloading with tomcat

[former_member734158]

Hello experts,

We are working on reducing (eliminating ?) the server restarts frequence,

One of the Class reloading options available (beside JRebel, HotSwapAgent...), is the native Tomcat Server reloadable="true" option.

Its working like a charm when making changes to classes under the webroot folder, But its not the case for the classes under the [EXTENSION_FOLDER]/classes folder

So our question is :

Is there a way to make Tomcat aware of changes under the [EXTENSION_FOLDER]/classes folder, and to reload the corresponding extension webapp ? without having a conflict with the Hybris ClassLoading mechanism.

Environement : Hybris 5.4, Tomcat 7.0.55, Java 1.8

Best regards
