Thanks a lot Luca for pointing this out. I must say it's completely new information to me. I wonder if it's really accurate and relevant to all containers.
For example, in Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J), when you redeploy an application, the OC4J instance is restarted. You can reload an application without restarting the OC4J instance. Do you think that would make it immune against this kind of problem? I'm also going to the Oracle forums with that question. -----Original Message----- From: Luca Passani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 4:57 PM To: Tag Libraries Users List Subject: Re: <c:set> and runtime expressions only marginally relevant to this thread, I recently read arguments against using Singletons in web apps: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/OutOfMemory Luca Tarek Nabil wrote: >Thanks a lot Kris for the explanation. > >Actually, I'm starting to feel that moving to JSTL 1.0 was not such a >wise move.
