nice catch-22 eh?

The only way that I know of at this point is to run Apache JServ 
manually and restart it each time you need to change your code (or run it 
in automatic mode and hup the server each time).

Major pain in the rear, but this is a JVM limitation and not a Apache JServ 
limitation. I suggest that you also complain to Sun. ;-)

You can effectively let Jserv to reload your servlet and using JNI, if you
package those objects that uses JNI in a specific classpath, and then
instantiate them as you need it.  It works for me!
