glassfish dynamic reload problem

hi

firstly, i'm really sorry if there is a thread about this issue but i have found nothing from my searching except this(http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=366605&#366605) which is not answered anyway.

here is the situation;

i have glassfish v2.1 installed on my server and i deploy my enterprise application as an ear file from the admin console. everything works fine upto here.

hovewer, i make changes on the project frequently. i have to upload them to the server and make the glassfish see the changes immediately. there is no problem with jsp files; glassfish compile and use them as soon as i change. but in the case of the class files this is not possible. the best solution to this seems to be dynamic reloading as i understand from the documentation and my google searchs.

here is my first question; is it the best solution or is there any other method to make glassfish see the changes on the class files?

i decided to use dynamic reload and it works successfully on my local computer. nevertheless, it doesn't work on my server. when i try to create a file named '.reload' in the deployed application directory, it undeploy the application but not redeploy. sometimes(really very rarely) i can create the .reload file and make the glassfish to reload the application. however, in this case, when i first touch the .reload file i face this problem again.

in the logs, there is some entries says 'failed to reload' but i can't get what the problem really is. some of the logs i think related is here:
