I am new to the list and am not sure I know the context but...
If I remember the documentation right the reloaded servlets are loaded
using the adaptive class loader instance 'cos classes once loaded cannot be
unloaded unless the associuated classloader is gone ! So the only way you
can use the new versions is using the adaptive class loader. The problem is
that Class Garbage collection is not implemented well in most VM's so you
are bound to face this problem until the JVM's improve their support for
this.
I am sincerelyinterested in knowing if this problem exists in every JVM
including hotsopt and its new GC... any feedback ?
Hope this helps,
Mukund Balu

Sounds like a memory leak. If you have static data or threads referencing
memory, that memory won't get reclaimed by the GC. Try monitoring GC with
the -verbosegc option to the JVM, and use tools like IBM's JInsight
alphaworks.ibm.com, OptimizeIt www.optimizeit.com, etc., to analyze where
the memory is going.
