I've been having the same problem. When I modify a JSP, it isn't recompiled
automatically. However, if I delete the .class file associated with the
JSP, both the .java and the .class files associated with the JSP are
rebuilt. So I've been deleting the .class files whenever I make JSP
changes.
I recall someone on this list mentioning that Tomcat 4b5 had a known bug
regarding detection of changes in source files, so I've assumed that was the
problem I've been seeing.
I'm using standalone Tomcat 4b5 in a Win2000 environment.
If anyone knows of a configuration change or a work-around that could get my
JSPs to compile properly when changed, please let me know!
Thanks
David
