Thanks Randy. My problem turned out to be lack of understanding on my part[1]. A jsp class in not instanciated for each session, but only for the application as a whole. The jspService method is then entered in a separate thread for each user. Hence I only see it removed from memory when a new version is loaded. Justin.
