Undeploy does not remove all of the files in the application

[René Schade <rs...@hypergenic.dk>]

Hi!

I have a problem when trying to undeploy an application.

Whenever I try to undeploy using the manager application (or from Ant), not all of the files in the application (located in webapps) are removed. Some of the jar-files still exist in the folder. I have to restart tomcat in order to remove the jar-files.

When I try to remove the files using an explorer I get "Cannot delete xxx.jar: It is being used by another person or program".

Im running Tomcat 5.5-20 on Win32.

Any help is appreciated!

Regards,
René

The classloaders cannot be unloaded. It's a common problem. Google for 
it ;-)

The simple workadound is to use anti*locking attributes in context.xml:
