There are known problems with deploying the same application several times. Tomcat is unable to unload webapp's classloader completely. For example, it takes only ten deploys of our struts+hibernate webapp to take Tomcat down. On the other hand, the same webapp can run even days without affecting the container. -- Mikolaj Rydzewski Becomo SA --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
