: would everything get dumped and reset -- would that static variable go : back to it's original state when the class file is first loaded? : : I should probably be asking a more specific question about classloaders : and sandboxes and whatnot, but I'm not sure how this stuff works in : tomcat and I'm not familiar w/ classloaders beyond their basic operation.
I'm not familiar with how the manager app "reloads" apps, but you could perform an experiment to find out: If you already have such a static var in question, write a quick JSP that prints that value to screen. Fire up your app, hit this JSP (to catch the initial/default value). Call the servlet/whatever that changes that value. Next, reload Tomcat using the manager app. Hit the JSP again (make sure to force a reload in your browser). Compare the printed value to the original/default. Also, is there any reason you require this to be a static variable? -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net (C++ / Java / SSL) tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
