Hi, I know this is a little off topic but this has to do with J2EE deployment so it might be useful for some people. In my environment, I use Eclipse with Struts 1.1, Tomcat 4.1 and Sun JDK 1.4. Eclipse makes it possible to recompile and redeploy my classes every time I change them. This is very convenient. I understand that the WebAppLoader reloads the whole application if there is a change in one of the files.
However, I have a static class that loads an enormous amount of data into memory. Therefore after 2 or 3 changes in my code I run into a OutOfMemory exception that is very annoying (the exception usually occurs somewhere in Win32FileSystem.class). I would like to prevent the webappLoader from reloading this particular class, and I know that it is is possible to prevent a jar file from beeing reloaded, but I don't know about a class. Thanks in advance Raphaël
