If I were to add a jar in that webapp's WEB-INF lib dir during tomcat execution, I have seen the Servlet destroy() method get called. however, I think when you shutdown tomcat (even properly, meaning with the "catalina stop"), that the destroy() method does not get called.
I guess another solution could be to use the ServletContextListener interface: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.3/javadoc/javax/servlet/ServletContex tListener.html -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 9:47 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: destroy() is not called when Context is reloaded Howdy, Then I don't know why destroy() is not being called. I certainly can't reproduce it, as I have many servlet in many webapps whose destroy method properly gets called on context reload, in both tomcat 4.1.x and 5.0.x. Sorry...
