what *really* happens when you reload or stop/start a webapp? 2003-12-30 - By Jeff Barrett
Back
I've got a web services application that I'm running w/ axis in Tomcat.
According to the howtos for the manager stopping or reloading a webapp
will make it unavailable and it will search for new files to load,
specifically mentioning .class and .jar files. But does it go further?
A more specific question: If I
1) had a jar in my webapp that had a class with a static field
2) set that static field to some value via interacting with my webapp
3) did a stop/start or reload
would everything get dumped and reset -- would that static variable go
back to it's original state when the class file is first loaded?
I should probably be asking a more specific question about classloaders
and sandboxes and whatnot, but I'm not sure how this stuff works in
tomcat and I'm not familiar w/ classloaders beyond their basic operation.
thanks,
+jeff
