Now for something completely different...

A question about WebSphere and servers and applications and JVMs.  In
fact, I don't know if this is the right place, but if you use WDSC you
are probably using WAS, so I'll start here.

 

Let's say I've got a WebSphere Express server running.  That server has
two applications deployed to it, AppA and AppB.  Each has their very own
/WEB-INF/lib, so they have to have different classloaders at the very
least.  Do they have different JVMs?  When I stop AppA, does that end
its JVM?  When I then restart AppA, does that start a new JVM?  This is
all WITHOUT stopping the server itself.

 

Does anyone see what I am getting at?
