IDE Oracle JDeveloper 3.1 Server: Tomcat 3.1 JDK : 1.2.2 Hi, I have begun to get a 500 error (internal server error) with some of my JSP pages. Here is an outline of the steps: 1) I make a change to en existing working jsp - the change can be as small as adding the letter x the <BODY> section 2) I then compile it and stop/start Tomcat 3) I then open a browser load the page and get the error : "Error: 500 Location: /time/jsp/holder2.jsp sun/tools/javac/Main " (holder2.jsp being the page in question). If I restore from a backup the original file it then works ok again! If I just remove the letter I added it doesn't!! I have tried making the change (obviously I want to make more involved changes but the x is a test) and then rebooting the machine but to no avail. What has happened that Tomcat no longer 'likes' altered files. This difficulty also applies to trying to add new JSP files. I hope someone can please help as this is amazingly frustrating and I can't think of any thing that could cause this 'sensitivity' on Tomcat's part.
