title: JVM's Hot Swap of classes loaded by Spring, using JPDA
body: <p>could please anybody share his experience about this topic ? </p>
  
  <p>When using jpda on tomcat, does class reloading work even for classes loaded via spring ? Let say that I have spring context with couple of classes loaded and instantiated and I want to change a method in one of them.</p>
  
  <p>In general, the class is replaced, reloaded and every other instance is instantiated from the new version of the class. I suppose that even the old instances are replaced with the old ones ?</p>
  
  <p>Does this also work when Spring is used ? So that I have a mvc controller and I change its method ?</p>
  
  <p>Or do I have to use JRebel for this requirement.</p>
