[mapserver-users] Java Mapscript and Tomcat

[C F]

Hi Andreas,
Have you been reading my thread today and yesterday about Mapscript and 
Java?  It doesn't answer your specific question here, but it might save you 
some of the effort until that issure of Tomcat crashing gets resolved... 
unless you have ideas on how to fix it.  Because, in my mind, it basically 
rules out Java Mapscript as an option for production usage if it's so easy 
to crash the servlet engine.  Hopefully somebody out there has the answer 
and just hasn't chimed in yet :)
Anyway, about your question... I haven't tried to do what you're doing.  
I've had so many issues with this stuff that, just to make sure I rule out 
other factors, I've restarted Tomcat every time I made changes.
