If I have, say, a bean in a user session, and do sp_redeploy, retrieving
the bean creates a class cast exception, for fairly obvious reasons. Only
Tomcat WAR reload clears the situation.
Ideally, the user in the old session should be able to continue working
with references to the old version of the app. Maybe, that's a bit much to
ask for the moment, and sessionBindingListeners could be used to track and
invalidate affected user sessions or session objects. A can of worms?
I don't know what OSGi says about invalidating sessions, if anything, but
if we do nothing, we can just go back to WAR deployment :-)
A feature request?

I thought about this one a while ago. It's nasty and the OSGi HttpService
does not deal with it.
It poses a problem not just for sp_redeploy, but also in any situation where
the bundle defining the Class is updated.
I think this problem is present for all of the attributes (Context, Request,
Session) where the stored object originates from a bundle. I was thinking
that something clever with Attribute listeners could be done but I haven't
given it a lot of thought.

Check out PackageAdmin.getBundle(Class)
