Description

The user guides should explain that if you recompile the classes which hold your user-written functions/procedures, then you need to reload those classes. For users who store their functions/procedures inside jar files in the database, the mechanics of reloading those jars are described in the Tools guide in a section titled "Storing jar files in a database". However, I can't find a similar set of instructions for users who don't load their jars into the database but, instead, simply wire the jar files into the VM's classpath. It would be good to mention this issue in the CREATE FUNCTION/PROCEDURE sections of the Reference manual.

This issue came up in the following email thread: http://www.nabble.com/Dropped-procedure-still-cached--td17173426.html#a17173426
