Hi to all im having problems with tomcat and windows. The struts2-core jar get locked when i do an undeploy of my web application. I found that in tomcat you can put a property to avoid lock of jars…also i found a lot of posts that say that this property is not working…
Anyone has "fight" with issue ??? Any advice is welcome…. I copy this from tomcat web site want to redeploy web applications, how do I prevent resources from getting locked? Most locking issues will occur with JARs from /WEB-INF/lib, and are useally caused by access through URLs. Tomcat has mechanisms to allow avoiding locking. In Tomcat 5.0, a mechanism exists to prevent locking when accessing resources using the getResource method of the URL classloader (many applications, such as Xerces, do not set the use of caching to false before opening the URL connection, causing locking). If such a call occurs, resources inside the JARs will be extracted to the work directory of the web application. In Tomcat 5.5, this mechanism is disabled by default (as it has a non negligible influence on startup times, and is often useless), and can be enabled using the antiJARLocking attribute of the Context element. There is another lock prevention mechanism in Tomcat 5.5 (antiResourceLocking attribute), which will cause the web application files to be copied to the temp folder and run from this location. This has a larger impact on web application startup times, but obviously prevents locking on all resources of the web application. This also allows more flexible management operations as none of the web application resources will be locked, even while the web application is running (as a special note, when making changes JSPs without reloading the application, the changes has to be duplicated to the path where the web application resources have been copied in the temp folder). -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
