What about classes with static method and/or static attributes ? Are they deleted from the old webapp ?

Shouldn't a reload of a webapp cause a relase of the >resources from the old webapp? A reload should release old resources when you restart the webapp, yes. But it's your responsibility to ensure there's nothing in your application which would stay in memory after a webapp restart. For example, classes in common/lib aren't affected by a restart, so if you app puts stuff there, and then you restart your app, the stuff you put in common/lib will still be there.
