Hi all,
this may be a general Java question or their may be a specific answer
related to Tomcat.
I am running a simple webservice which loads classes using a
URLClassloader...
// start of code snippet
ClassLoader previous = Thread.currentThread()
.getContextClassLoader();
URLClassLoader loader = new URLClassLoader(new URL[]
{ new URL("http://localhost/classes/";)}, previous);
String className = "common.MyClassToBeLoaded";
Class<?> ho = loader.loadClass(className);
// end
This ok, but when I edit and recompile a class which is loaded, the
changes to MyClassToBeLoaded.java are not reflected in the webservice.
I suspect that the class is being cached and won't be cleared until the
JVM restarts (i.e. the Tomcat server will have to be restarted).
My Question:
Is there a way to empty this cache, or disable caching all together?
There are some suggestions out there but none specific to Tomcat.
Effectively, I need to clear the cache, all the better if my code can do
it each time I load the MyClassToBeLoaded.class.
Peter
