how to solve undeploy locking issue

[Quinten Verheyen <q....@ringring.be>]

Hi, I'm resending this issue, I still have the locked jar situation when executing the catalina undeploy task, it only occurs when my web.xml was pointing to resources in that jar. Temporarily I'm using alternative approaches (overwriting files, catalina stop+start), but they don't guarantee it works all the time.

A couple of weeks ago, I brought this up on this list and was advised to test it against Tomcat 5.5.9. I did and the problem still occurred, so I checked non-Tomcat possible causes first, like the resource's lifecycle management (done by Spring framework), but it all seems to point at Tomcat or rather the Tomcat's undeploy task.

What goes wrong is very simple, the undeploy task removes the war file, but not the expanded dir because one if it's jars could not be removed. I believe the reason is that the context is removed before the resources had the time to be destroyed, resulting in a trapped situation, but I'm not sure, I could be wrong.

The log lines below (v5.5.9) aren't helping me enough :
