http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38579 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-02-09 05:47 ------- I did some research this evening and found out that, sure enough, Java 5 allows instance final fields to be overwritten but does NOT allow this for static final fields. Therefore my suggestion of simply overwriting the static final reference will not work. I made some modifications to the cleanup code in WebappClassLoader.java, which cause it to only nullify fields of descended-into objects if they refer to objects of classes which were loaded by 'this' class loader or one of its children (if it has any.) I am attaching the modified source file. Please take a look at it and see if it still achieves the desired effect with respect to Tomcat's cleanup process. I am new to class loader debugging. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
