Why? It were compiled and run on my PC.

As article says, container drops all reference to classloader during 
web-app undeploy. This allows GC to remove classloader and free PermGen.
In our system, JSP deployed inside web-app without web-app
redeply. So references to ClassLoader aren't dropped. It is not 
possible to redeploy web-app, when new JSP arrived, however may be 
we can create separate web-apps for each business process, and 
redeploy it. I will think about it...

Yes. It is our own classloader.

Looks like Tomcat create classloader for each web-app.

Looks like these classes will be removed from PermGen with classloader 
after web-app undeploy.

I see, threre are two possible ways for now: modify jsp servlet as I 
going to before or create web-app for each business process and redeploy 
it when new JSP arrived.
