To quote Jason Hunter (Java Servlet, O'Reilly press):
"this is not a bug, its a feature.  Most servers automatically reload a
servlet after its class file (under the default servlet directory, such as
server_root/servlets) changes.  Its an on the fly upgrade procedure that
greatly speeds up the development-test cycle -- and allows for long server
up times."

When you upload a new servlet class, any persistant classes that were used
by that servlet also get reset.  I guess this includes sessions.  To the
best of my knowledge, there is no way to "turn this off".
