Only usefull information should comes from BoneDBTransactionImpl2.class.getClassLoader() as this is the classloader which will load any class needed by BoneDBTransactionImpl2. > I put this into a static initializer block of a class that is in a jar in > both WEB_INF\lib directories.

Strange indeed, so you mean when starting app B, the static block of BoneDBTransactionImpl2 is never executed? If that's the case this indeed mean the class was already loaded before. Either this mean you have another lib in webapp B requiring BoneDBTransactionImpl2 and you didn't see the static init message 50 lines before ;), either you indeed have something shared. One easy way to check In webapp A, create a servelt which will set to 1 a static boolean in BoneDBTransactionImpl2 and in webapp B, set another servlet which will read the value of this boolean. first access B servlet to ensure boolean is set to false acces A servlet to switch boolean to true re-access B servlet to check if boolean has switched value in B webapp If that's the case, this really mean class is shared by webapp class loaders, serious problems ahead for tomcat team ;) > > The class exists in jar files in both WEB-INF\lib directories, but not in > any other lib directory.

I am sure that the class is > not loaded again. see message above, i just didn't know how you concluded the class was shared, one common error is to give an instance of some object to a shared library and retreive it in another webapp, not understanding this object you are manipulating is a stranger ;) not your case scenario you describe. > > I checked the sources in Apache's CVS.

Seems you have to modify directly the logging level in your java home, logging.properties (and setting it to debug for whole jvm is VERY verbose) > > Sascha > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: delbd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 12:33 PM > > To: Tomcat Users List > > Subject: Re: WebappClassLoader - don't understand what's happening > > > > This indeed should not happen as this would break sun specs. > > I would be quite surprised it it was at all possible :/ How > > did you conclude the webappclassloader is sharing the class > > between webapps in your case? > > > > Are you sure you are not mistakenly using a shared class? > > > > Not only does every webapp has his very own > > webappclassloader, but if you reload the webapp (using the > > manager/html interface) this should also create a new > > webclassloader and reload all classes (did you check it was > > the case?). > > > > Am also using tomcat 5.5.7 here, with jdk 1.4.2_05-b04 and we > > didn't notice such a problem.
