Subject: RE: Redeploy issues loading contents from some .jar at WEB-INF/lib



I guess not, because I'm doing the redeploy manually and just after the
transfer is completed. The autoDeploy feature is off in my tomcat, so I go
to the Tomcat Manager and invoke the Reload operation for my web app using:

http://<host>:8080/manager/html/reload?path=/<app_name>

jar)
and redeploy, it does NOT work!

Beeeeeeg guess here....
Update (if I remember) means that if it exists, it will undeploy first.
So I have a feeling this application (the offending class) wont undeploy.

It works if tomcat restarted, but not if tomcat running...
I think the application (class) is not letting go...
I think this because even if you change a JAR... if the classloader cannot let classes go because something is using it... it will not reload... the classloader will simply reuse the one in the classloader... so new on disk... does not mean new in classloader, unless that class loader can let go... something like that.

So the software somewhere does something like read the digest of the file on disk... then it checks that against the loaded class... bang they are different... I'm thinking a singleton or something has that class... and the classloader when told to reload, does not evem look at the new one on disk. How to check that, and how to kill that.... I have no idea, dont know Spring.
