servlet reloading issue with native library

[Milt Epstein <me...@uiuc.edu>]

When tomcat tries to reload my servlet, I get the following error
message:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native Library ... already loaded in another classloader

(This is for a native library that I have and am explicitly loading in
my code.)

Is there any way around this?  Thanks.

Answering my own question again :-).  I got around this by moving the
class that was doing the loading out of the WEB-INF/classes directory
and into a directory on the CLASSPATH, such that it was being loaded
by the system classloader.  Fortunately, this is not a class that I
need to keep in the WEB-INF/classes directory (i.e. to be available
for reloading).  Not sure what, if anything, I could've done if I did
need/want to keep it there.
