I have a Java web application that uses a plugin architecture. I would like to know if anyone has a solution where by one could add a servlet, with serlvet mapping to the servletconfig while the web app is running? The idea being that a class could be added to the /WEB-INF/classes folder and be made active as a servlet without restarting the web app. By the same nature, if the user chooses to remove the "plugin" then have the code remove the class from the the servletconfig.
