Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'm working on an internet application that needs to dynamically reload classes. The classes can be rewritten on-the-fly and so must be recompiled and reloaded during runtime. I've read that in JDK 1.2 they've settled on making bootstrap-loaded classes non-unloadable and that the route to go is to create a custom class loader. To unload the classes just blow away the custom class loader used to load them. I've tried this and my classes aren't unloading. I do attempt to 'force' the garbage collection of the custom class loader by setting it equal to null when I'm finished with it. However, the class is somehow staying resident anyway. Is it possible that I'm implementing the custom class loader wrong? Is my custom class loader calling upon the bootstrap class loader by default thereby making it unloadable? What is the simplest form of a custom class loader that will let me destroy it and blow away it's classes?
