I have a java application. All I have with me is a set on class files. Iwant to replace one class file with a new one. Replacing the old class file with the new one and restrting tomcat is not reflecting the changes. How can I do this? I know its not a recommended way, but all I have is just one new class file.

I’ve done this the way you describe before, and Tomcat reflected the changes just fine after restart.
Perhaps your application’s files are in multiple locations, and you aren’t replacing the class file in the correct deployment? Make sure if Tomcat is auto-expanding the WAR that you are replacing it in the expanded folder of files. If you app is deployed somewhere besides
webapps, double-check where your<Context>is pointing to for its doc base.
