Tried it: and antiResourceLocking as well (both set to true). Its very curious: antiResourceLocking does what it seems like it should do: extracts all referenced resource files into work\Catalina\localhost\test\loader\org\blah\blah\blah....
However, antiJARLocking doesn't seem to do anything explicit. I took an extended trip through the Tomcat source for the webapp class loader ( http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/container/tc5.5.x/catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/loader/WebappClassLoader.java) to see what antiJARLocking does, and basically it does this: if (antiJARLocking) { ResourceEntry entry = (ResourceEntry) resourceEntries.get(name); try { String repository = entry.codeBase.toString(); if ((repository.endsWith(".jar")) && (!(name.endsWith(".class")))) { // Copy binary content to the work directory if not present File resourceFile = new File(loaderDir, name); url = getURI(resourceFile); } } catch (Exception e) { // Ignore } } Which basically copies any resources with URLs that don't end with .class to the work directory, but doesn't appear to do the same for .class files. This sounds like what antiResourceLocking should do, but there are no references to antiResourceLocking in that class, so I'm kind of at a loss there (anyone know where to look for the effects of the antiResourceLocking flag?) I'm thinking what I'll do is subclass the loader and force it to copy the WEB-INF/lib jars to a separate location and go from there, that way I can discard them without losing sleep. I spotted a netbeans bug ( http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5100046) that seems to obliquely suffer from the same issue, so that may be the answer. Femi.
