Hello Kemp, Note that if a .war file exists *and* a directory with the name of the .war file minus the .war exists, the .war will not be re-expanded upon future restarts. This means that Tomcat will serve stuff out of the directory, if it exists. So, you don't need to re-create the .war file unless you plan on deleting the directory and letting tomcat re-deploy the .war file. You can just drop your modified .html and .jsp files into the directory. There are no issues with the .html file, but there would be with dynamic files like .jsp's. Fortunately, .jsp's are re-compiled and re-loaded when updated so you should see your changes upon the first request after adding the modified file *without* restarting Tomcat. Note that is isn't the case for servlets. Jake Monday, August 19, 2002, 1:46:53 PM, you wrote: KRW> Please forgive this dumb question - but I just don't get it.
