The classloader doesn't release the jars. And on Windows this leads to these files being locked, on Linux it doesn't. I had to learn this myself when I switched to Windows. Though it's still the classloader, that induces this behavior. The WEB-INF/lib classloader doesn't do that. And I was surprised to see, that a custom webapp classloader doesn't behave the same way a WEB-INF/lib classloader does. This is the reason for this ticket. (In reply to Christopher Schultz from comment #3) > I wonder why you are checking assets out of revision-control directly into > the deployment directory of Tomcat. Or are you you using embedded Tomcat? Well, why not? It is the fastest way of synchronizing the webapp with development state on a dev machine. No, we're not using tomcat embedded. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
