JAR File Reloading

[bennycigs]

We're running CFMX 6.1 on top of JRun and making use of a lot of Java
classes. The classes are packaged in JAR files in the /WEB-INF/lib
directory.

Dropping an updated jar file in the lib directory causes in memory
instances of the classes in the jar file to not work. For instance, the
Java class com.uhlig.Job is defined in uhlig.jar. An instance of Job is
created and stored in the application scope. Then a new version of
uhlig.jar is copied over the old in the lib directory. Now the instance
of Job previously created will throw an exception trying to use it
(usually a 'selected method was not found').

Finally the question... Does anyone know how to get CFMX/JRun to ignore
the new jar file? Setting <reload>false</reload> under the
<jrun-web-app> in jrun-web.xml does not seem to be doing the trick.

Thanks.
