The only thing you can do is throw away the entire class loader itself, and create a new one (which is how Tomcat handles application reloads). Because the shared (and common) class loaders are parents to the webapp class loaders, that would mean throwing away all of the current webapps and starting over. Essentially, you'd be doing exactly what stopping and starting Tomcat already does. > Luiz Ricardo Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
