This is sort of a general question, but I couldn't find any information on the subject.
In short: should I expect running threads to finish processing their requests, when I reload an application? Long story: we use tomcat as an application server, and a request can take up to several minutes to finish. We would like to be able to reload the application, and have any running thread finish its work, while new threads can be spawned using the new versions of the classes. This seems to mostly work, except that upon reload, all static class members of old class instances are set to Null! So old requests try to finish but quickly die as soon as the code tries to access the private members. New requests are fine, the freshly-loaded classes have their static members initialized correctly. Is that expected behavior? I can post a small example that demonstrates what I'm talking about.
