Java Class unloading
843811May 18 2005 — edited Aug 6 2005Can anybody clearly explain when exactly a Java class will be unloaded?
The scenario is as follows:
1. Deploy an ear
2. Access the application using the browser
3. Re-deploy the ear
4. Access the same application (same scenario)
it is observed that no class is unloaded after steps 3 and 4. I guess this should not be the case when a re-deployment happens. Can somebody explain the reason????
