Hello Mark, Unfortunately we would not be able to move to the new version of tomcat.
For my understanding, please confirm the following: 1. The number of JSP's loaded would directly result in that number of classes loaded in JVM. 2. As of now, for version Tomcat 5.5.9 (or Tomcat 5.X) there is no in built way to unload the classes - i.e the classes would be 'only' unloaded when the application is either undeployed or reloaded. 3. Is there any way to setup unloading of JSP's in the 5.X versions - either by using the custom classloader or any other way?. Thanks.
