: 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.

I'm not familiar with how the manager app "reloads" apps, but you
could perform an experiment to find out:

If you already have such a static var in question, write a quick JSP
that prints that value to screen. Fire up your app, hit this JSP (to
catch the initial/default value).

Call the servlet/whatever that changes that value.

Next, reload Tomcat using the manager app.

Hit the JSP again (make sure to force a reload in your browser).
Compare the printed value to the original/default.


Also, is there any reason you require this to be a static variable?
