Here is the link to the jasper doc for jsp compilation http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jasper-howto.html
You will need to modify the checkInterval param in the conf/web.xml file of your tomcat server, it defaults to 300 secs. so tomcat only checks every 5 mins for a new doc for a 30 sec this should work <init-param> <param-name>checkInterval</param-name> <param-value>30</param-value> </init-param> However by default 4.1 is set up to check on every file access, you might try forcing this with <init-param> <param-name>development</param-name> <param-value>true</param-value> </init-param> These will work for 4.1, I do not know if 4.0 has similar params but I have noticed that 4.0 does seem slow in recognizing new jsp pages. Most of the apps we support run off of servlet so I have not spent much time tunning the jsp servlet Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Hari Venkatesan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 1:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Work Directory in Tomcat Can anybody explain the usage of work Directory in Tomcat. I see that the compiled versions of the JSP's are being stored here. Does the JSP get loaded from here upon actual execution? IF so what happens if there is a change in the JSP. One strange problem is every time I change a JSP, I had to go and remove the JSP classes from the work directory before I could get to see the changed version. Any Ideas?
