You're right that is what I meant. Some background: I have a .war and a .ear whose classloaders aren't scoped (so they're share the same repository). Questions: Can I safely hot deploy jsps to the war (if it's deployed exploded). If the war isn't re-deployed how is the jsp relinked? What happens to references made by that jsp to shared classes?
