But Recently i got to know how to reproduce this issue 1- Start the web-application. 2- Tomcat will create a directory under /tmp/tomcat.*/.././...... 3- Now access web-application through browser. 4- But dont access all JSP pages. 5- Suppose application have A,B,C,D.jsp pages . 6- User accesses A,B.jsp only 7- Now user or any cron job deleted /tmp/tomcat directory 8- Now user click on C.jsp it is throwing above given exception. 9- Now click on D.jsp it will work fine as tomcat will create /tmp/tomcat ..... directory again. 10. But C.jsp which was failed with 500 error will never come upto the time tomcat will not start. Can someone please explain how tomcat works here and why it throws an exception and wont allow that jsp page to come up without restart? -- Subodh Chandra Joshi <subodh1_josh...@yahoo.co.in>
