Need to restart Windchill services to apply Java class changes ?

[BernardWielfaer]

Hi,

I am working ona java class that I can insert in the workflow using NetBeans.Do you really need to restart the Windchill services to apply yourclass file changes or is there a shortcut ?
Windchill seems to cash the .class files somehow.

Tips or suggestions are welcome.
Best regards,

Bernard

Yes, I believe so. The class gets loaded into the perm heap. It's nothin' but a Java thang.

Well, there are classloader things to avoid this.

That said, this is a very common source of perm-gen memory leaks, so
Windchill doesn't really support this.

One other note: there's no need to restart the server for a brand new
.class file in codebase.

Changing an existing class or jar is another matter entirely.
