No, that is not a Tomcat problem... it's a specific application problem... I saw some people complaining about the same things in applications similar to mine.
The big whole problem with my application is the framework usage: Hibernate and Struts... My guess is that hibernate is not finalizing normally (i done some tests restarting the context using only struts and garbage collecting and checking the amount of free memory)... cause when I restart the context about 4 times using hibernate and struts there is no more free memory neither memory to allocate. It ends with a Heap space error. Every time a new class is compiled during development the context must be restarted to update the class reference, so now we have a problem. My way out is to make a classloader to monitor these classes in classes folder and auto-update the reference... Wish me luck ;-) I will take a look at your idea... but seems you are not trying to reload the classes references. ------------- Segue mensagem original! ------------- De: Sriram Narayanan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Data: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 01:59:21 +0530 Para: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Assunto: Re: Problems Using Context Loader On 1/11/06, Michel Costa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I am trying to create a ClassLoader for my application so then I will not > have to reload all the hibernate and struts when a new class is compiled. > Could you please explain why this is a problem ?

See the bug report that I've filed for information on how I used my own Classloader. -- Sriram --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
