Please read the other responses to this thread, since they are correct that there is no guarantee. However, the current implementation of TC (3.3-6.0) will not unload a Servlet unless the entire context is reloaded (with a slight exception for JSP pages). But then you are programming against Tomcat itself, in an area where there is no guarantee that it won't change in the future, and it may not work if you try to move to another Servlet container. > Any solutions appreciated, thanks in advance. > > -- > Best regards from > Kamil Burzynski > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
