The touch command is on Unix OS'es. It hasn't got anything to do with tomcat. What it does is it updates (among other things) the last modified attribute of a file, but in your case the purpose is (at least if my head is screwed on right) to trigger Tomcat into detecting a file change in the work directory, hence doing a reload. If I got the Tomcat bit wrong, shoot at the bright red target on my forehead :)

I use this mode, and all is OK, and I doesn't delete the work directory; At 11:25 10.02.2004 +0100, you wrote: >You would delete only the directory relative of your site, under the work >directory of tomcat; > >for example, if you site is called www.test.org, you must delete the >directory under tomcat work/www.test.org_8080; > >probably the name may be different from release; > >after delete it, you must restart tomcat; > >But have you tried to use the touch cmd on all .jsp file that include your >include.jsp?
