What you're seeing is normal servlet/JSP processing. After you restart Tomcat, the classloader has to load the servlet/JSP. Once it has done this, the servlet/JSP is cached so it doesn't need to be reloaded. The JSP files shouldn't be compiled again unless they change. The server should check the last-modified time on the JSP when it receives a request, and compare that to the creation time of the compiled class, and recompile if necessary.
If you can (depending on how complex your application is), you might want to create a small script to access every page in your application, then run that as the last step in your Tomcat startup script. It doesn't matter if the page is accessed "correctly" (i.e., passed any parameters it needs), it'll still be loaded and cached. --- Tracy Nelson / Nelnet Business Solutions 402 / 617-9449 | -----Original Message----- | From: Frank Niedermann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: Monday, 25 September, 2006 04:48 | To: users@tomcat.apache.org | Subject: Re: Precompiled JSPs after Tomcat restart | | | I've found the .java and .class files in a new sample application. | | I still don't understand if the compiled class files are used after | Tomcat restart or if the JSP files will get compiled again. | | I'm asking because my application (Matrix from MatrixOne) is | very slow after restarting Tomcat.
