Can I rely on a class in my application being loaded once and only once between app server restarts or application re-deployments? Can I rely on a class never being re-loaded unless all sessions are invalidated?
What I want to do is keep track of the most recent http request by each user so I can tell if a user is currently active. I want to track this in a Hashtable referenced by a static variable, without going to the database.
Thanks.
