Java HotSpot Virtual Machine

Setup
--------------
Tomcat 4.1.29
Red Hat 7.2 (glib-1.2.10-11.1)

Problem
---------------
I am using a JNI library called test.so. Everything works file untill the following.

As we know tomcat provides a manager utility to reload/deploy web application WITHOUT restarting the tomcat. This way we can reload an application(context) w/o affecting any other app.

In the tomcat manager (www.url.com/manager/html) , when I "RELOAD" the app. which uses the JNI, i get this error.


type Exception report

This is the code which load the JNI library

public void callinit(){

try {
System.loadLibrary("test");
Init();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
}
}

All the suggestions are welcomed....

Thanks in advance.
