Hi,
I'm running the most recent JRebel with Tomcat 6.0 and for the most part it's like a dream come true.
I blew a chunk of time today though, and it seems to be due to JRebel not dealing with the recompilation of a .class where the only change was to add a new value to an enum. The client class compiled OK and JRebel picked it up, but other classes saw the enum value as 'null'. Finally I tried stopping & restarting Tomcat, and suddenly, everything worked again.
I could try to repeat this problem more accurately if it would help. Or, if this is just a known limitation, that's OK too, but I couldn't find evidence that this is the case, and I would like to understand this better.
It's also possible that I am completely misunderstanding something here as I do not claim to be a Java or Tomcat wizard. It does seem clear, though, that restarting Tomcat fixed things, and I think the main point of JRebel is to avoid needing to do that.
Thanks,
Greg
