RE: What gets reloaded on Tomcat automatic reload
From: lightbulb432 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: What gets reloaded on Tomcat automatic reload I ask because, surprisingly, a static variable kept its state across the automatic reload. Where is the class file for the static variable located? All classes in the webapp directory (or .war file) should be lost, since Tomcat creates a new classloader for the redeployment. If the class in question came out of a higher-level library, it won't be affected. Also, if an object loaded from a higher-level library is hanging on to references to webapp objects (a really bad design), you may still see values from the old deployment. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

What gets reloaded on Tomcat automatic reload
When a context is set with reloadable=true and a change is made to one of the appropriate folders, causing a context reload, what is and isn't undeployed and redeployed? I ask because, surprisingly, a static variable kept its state across the automatic reload. Is this expected behavior? I thought it would be a completely fresh, new deployment that's the equivalent of stopping and restarting the server, with regards to the context with which you're working. However, stopping and restarting the server does, of course, clear the static variable's state, but that's not the case with the automatic reload - or am I probably just doing something wrong?
