--------------------------------------
David,
Sorry I forgot that the issue I mentioned also affects Commons Validator and Commons Chain - which also use Digester to parse their XML config files - but on this front theres good and bad news:
Commons Validator
----------------------------
* The bad news is the change to use the new constructors provided by Digester 1.8 has not yet made it into a Validator release (see
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-211 )
* The good news is the same fix applied in Digester 1.8 was also applied in Validator 1.3.1 (see
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-209 ), so if you're not yet using Validator 1.3.1 can you try upgrading to that version
*
http://commons.apache.org/validator/Commons Chain
------------------------
* The bad news is the change to use the new constructors provided by Digester 1.8 has not yet made it into a Chain release (see
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHAIN-33 )
* I will try and find time to do a Commons Chain release soon (but no promises!) - in the meantime I have built the current chain which you could try out -
http://people.apache.org/~niallp/chain-1.2-20080520/ * ALternatively if you don't want to use those versions, you could check out the source yourself from subversion and build using maven 2

> URL:
https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-3143> Project: Struts 1
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.3.8
> Environment: Tomcat 5.0, Sun Java 1.5 on Windows XP or 2000
> Reporter: David Clemens
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.3.10

> We recently upgraded from an older struts.jar to struts 1.3.8. Since then, when we try to deploy a new .war file dynamically in Tomcat, it fails because Tomcat is unable to delete just one file-- the struts-core-1.3.8.jar. That file remains "in-use" until the entire Tomcat webserver is restarted. It is as if a thread is started by Struts that does not exit nicely when interrupted. Or perhaps there is some kind of special class loader used by Struts that prevents the Tomcat webapp class loader from flushing some class from this jar.
> I'm sorry if this problem is already known, but I could not find any issues that matched.
