Answer 1

You cannot resolve this problem by "restarting the server".

The problem is that when you update your app by uploading a new version to Tomcat, some resource is not cleaned up properly. Could be anything from a runaway thread, to some kind of scheduled service, to a listener. When that process tries to load a class, Tomcat will detect and prevent it.

The solution to the problem is to properly keep track of, and on shutdown close, those threads.
