I haven't looked at the code, but it would seem that the WebappClassLoader shouldn't need file handles to remain open to do it's up-to-date checking of .jar and .class files. WebappClassLoader /does/ contain a JarFile[] member, which may keep file handles open. I haven't looked at the code -- only the Javadoc. > Is there a way to configure tomcat to have an agressive policy to close > unused file handles? None that I know of: patches are always welcome. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAktEly8ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAKrgCgwCSa9Xy5MVlpYBy+Gn3AZXeE jukAn3DpombmSP3FXZ8EPTobtgDe09b8 =GKts -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
