Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hi: We have been developing a site in which the whole development process, we were using the repository. Our servlets load some static classes and hold on to them. This worked great while our servlet was in the repository. When we moved to production, we put all the classes in the classpath and took them out of the repository. What started to happen is that all the static classes we were loading had their references released, so static variables were not being preserved between calls to the same servlet (bad for us because we kept state there). Any thoughts on what we are doing wrong in configuration? Custom classloader hints for the JServ class loader? Just weird and ulcerous. -MA -- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-WEBEASY-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Michael Amster [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1148 4th Street, Suite 204 Tel: 310.576.0770 Santa Monica, CA 90403 Fax: 310.576.2011 -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Please read the FAQ! <http://java.apache.org/faq/> To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives and Other: <http://java.apache.org/main/mail.html> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
