Re: [OT] Eclipse/Tomcat WebappLoader

This won't help me, as the memory leak appears to be in the fact that 
when a context is removed from Tomcat, all memory allocated for that 
context is not released.

Try marking yout context with reloadable="false" in server.xml or if
using the eclipse plugin, uncheck the reloadable chechbox (project ->
Properties -> Tomcat -> General -> "marck this context as reloadable")
In this way, when you change a class implementation, only this class is
changed and Tomcat won't reload all the webapp.

I'm not sure you'll ever entirely get away from Tomcat generating an 
"OutOfMemory" exception ... I have a very similar development 
environment and I use the catalina-ant tasks for removing my context 
from Tomcat and re-installing my context to Tomcat and I've found that 
after I do that a few times, I need to restart Tomcat to reclaim memory 
... my .WAR is about 92MB, so that might be why it doesn't take too
long.

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
