EAServer 5.1 provides a new version of the custom Java class loader that allows hot refresh of Java classes without restarting the server. The version 2 class loader offers improved diagnostics and allows you to configure the delegation order for parent-child class loader relationships.
For compatibility with applications configured for earlier EAServer versions, EAServer uses the previous class loader version (version 1) by default. To begin using the new class loader, configure the class loader version in the EAServer Manager Server Properties dialog box. On the Java VM tab, select Use Jaguar Class Loader Version 2.
For more information, see Chapter 30, “Configuring Custom Java Class Lists,” in the EAServer Programmer’s Guide.
