and here is the error
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\work\Catalina\localhost\_\org\apache\jsp\CH05\ReloadTest_jsp.java:45: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable ReloadedClass
location: class org.apache.jsp.CH05.ReloadTest_jsp
out.print( ReloadedClass.getMessage() );

You need to compile your class ReloadedClass.java into ReloadedClass.class.
The class should then go into the WEB-INF/classes directory for your web application.
If you are using the ROOT web application, then the file ReloadedClass.class needs to be in the directory
webapps/root/WEB-INF/classes/examples/Reloaded.class

A WAR file is pretty much just a zipped up web application.
With Tomcat all you have to do is put the war file in the webapps directory, and it will autodeploy itself. Thats all there is to it.
Most web applications do NOT use the root web context. Instead they define their own web context. Each web application is defined by the presence of a web.xml file: /webapps/[contextName]/WEB-INF/web.xml
A war file MyContext.war will expand into a web application MyContext, which you access at http://localhost:8080/MyContext
Does that help with your WAR file issues?
