Re: [OT] Eclipse/Tomcat WebappLoader

[Brice Ruth]

I'm not sure you'll ever entirely get away from Tomcat generating an 
"OutOfMemory" exception ... I have a very similar development 
environment and I use the catalina-ant tasks for removing my context 
from Tomcat and re-installing my context to Tomcat and I've found that 
after I do that a few times, I need to restart Tomcat to reclaim memory 
... my .WAR is about 92MB, so that might be why it doesn't take too long.

Hi,

I know this is a little off topic but this has to do with J2EE deployment so it might be useful for some people.
In my environment, I use Eclipse with Struts 1.1, Tomcat 4.1 and Sun JDK 1.4. Eclipse makes it possible to recompile and redeploy my classes every time I change them. This is very convenient. 
I understand that the WebAppLoader reloads the whole application if there is a change in one of the files.

However, I have a static class that loads an enormous amount of data into memory. Therefore after 2 or 3 changes in my code I run into a OutOfMemory exception that is very annoying (the exception usually occurs somewhere in Win32FileSystem.class).

I would like to prevent the webappLoader from reloading this particular class, and I know that it is is possible to prevent a jar file from beeing reloaded, but I don't know about a class.

Thanks in advance
Rapha�l
