RE: jar_cache files on AIX
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 16:14:48 -0500 From: Holmes, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat User Mailing List (E-mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: jar_cache files on AIX I have read all of the postings (all that I could find anyway) about the jar_cache files that are generated in /tmp on AIX when using tomcat 4. I have a fairly good understanding of where they come from, but I have thus far been unable to find a way to make the JDK stop generating them, or generate them in an alternate location. I have been unsuccessful in finding any documentation on this with regard to the JDK. Has anyone found a way to clobber these? Sounds like a question for IBM Support, since it's their JDK. Also, somewhere along the 4.x path (sorry, don't remember precisely which version), there were some bugfixes to cases where Tomcat wasn't closing JAR files when it was done with them. Depending on how IBM has implemented the java.util.JarXXX classes, this might have something to do with it. Have you tried recent 4.0.x and 4.1.x versions? I have installed 4.0.4 (was using 4.0.1) and the jar_cache files are no longer generated (at least anywhere that I can find them :). Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

RE: jar_cache files on AIX
I can't speak for AIX, but with the windows ver of JDK 1.4.0, you can disable the JAR cache. So, atleast there is hope. - Andrew -Original Message- From: Holmes, Jason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 5:15 PM To: Tomcat User Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: jar_cache files on AIX I have read all of the postings (all that I could find anyway) about the jar_cache files that are generated in /tmp on AIX when using tomcat 4.

Is upgrading the JDK (from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1) a fix that anyone has tried and verified to work? Thank you for the assistance.
