Re: restarting tomcat in production

Agreed,
and if you have any session information and the session can't be (for 
whatever reason) be de/serialized, it would indeed be a very bad idea to 
restart tomcat.

hi,

i'm looking for some feedback on whether or not it's a normal procedure 
to regularly restart tomcat.  we have some memory leak somewhere that 
forces us to restart the process every 6-8 days but we're thinking that 
just putting in a script to restart daily would prevent this and may not 
be a bad idea to do even if there wasn't any leak.


any response appreciated.  thanks in advance...ron
