Dynamic Common/Share ClassLoader Reload
Hi all,
I am creating an Jar file to be used accross multiple portlet application
which is working fine.
I only have one issue is everytime I made change to the class and export to
JAR file, I need to restart Tomcat server for all portlets to take effect
since they are part of Common/Shared Loader.
I am not sure whether any config in Context.XML so that I can force Tomcat
to reload common/shared loader.
Thank for any help.

The subversions actually make a difference too. 6.0.20 is the most
recent version of Tomcat, for example.

Yes. Like I said, include the jar in the WEB-INF/lib dir of your app(s).
You are obviously not saving any time or effort by placing it in the
shared classloader, because you have to restart the server.
Unless you're somehow attempting to share actual data inside the classes
by placing it the shared classloader (unwise, probably) then there's no
particular gain by doing so.

Thank PID-6 for your response,
Honestly this is my second post in this forum so forgive my mistake not
mentioning Tomcat and Java version. Both Tomcat and Java are 6.
I thought it is impossible and I was right. I am new to Tomcat too. The
reason I asked for it as I mentioned they are all Lib to share between
multiple custom portlets, Liferay for specific. But these classes are very
immature and would be continously changed at this stage. So, this is the
question of fast development only.
Any other way you can think of so that I can achieve the same thing ?
Thanks

Yes. This is intentional.

No, you can't.
Any reason why you can just include the jar in each web application?
Disk space is cheap.

For future reference, it's traditional to specify the following when
posting to the list.
Which version of Tomcat?
Which version of the JVM?
OS?
