Question

After a successful start of Tomcat and a few REST calls I get this message in Tomcat console and then the application reload it self. And because reload takes a few seconds, response time is too long. And then again - after a REST call I again get this message and it reloads the application again...

Google did not help me, can you? :)

Answer 1

More an hint than an answer but similar Eclipse/Tomcat/Spring problems (with other JARs) are reported in Application Context Keeps Reloading and Tomcat behaving Strangely. Check if your xalan JAR is not corrupted (try to open it with winzip) and redownload it if required. If not, maybe try to deploy on JBoss to see if this issue is related to the Tomcat plugin.
