Java Application Scope

Question

During a particular session if I obtain application context and store or change something in application scope, would it become available to all the sessions until the server is rebooted?

Answer 1

Yes. This is one of the goals of application scope.

Answer 2

Until the application is restarted, or the server, yes.

But this kind of thing is trivial to test, you should test it — no answer beats a test that you make yourself.
