I never do this deletion while the webapp is running.
I stop the web app. carry out the deletion, and then restart the
webapp, either by dropping a
new war for the app in webapps, or using the manager app, or by
restarting tomcat.
The work directory is where tomcat uses jasper to compile jsp's, and
that is done on an as-needed basis.
So if you do the deletion first, and then (re)start your app, tomcat
will start recompiling the jsp's in work as they are requested.

I planned on doing that. However I'm concerned about the meantime
between
deleting the wepapp subdirectory inside work/ and restarting. This
webapp
receives alot of traffic, what will Tomcat do when it gets a request
for
that webapp, after the work/...WEBAPP directory is deleted?
Might it actually derive the correct jsp servlet and therefore not
require a
restart?
Or will it throw errors? And if so, will those errors be limited to
that
webapp or could if affect other webapps?
Thanks

Yep, me too. Has rarely happened, usually one jsp is the problem
and I
delete its associated class file and the jsp will then compile ok.

I refactored the POJO side of a webapp I have. I basically moved
some
objects referenced by the JSPs into a new package. I updated the
jsps
accordingly, by importing the new package with the PAGE directive
at the
top. I deleted the old version of the webapp, rebuilt it, and
restarted
tomcat.
It then started spewing errors, generated from the jsp's, about
not being
able to find the old classes. I am convinced that the errors
lies in the
work/ directly, specifically the derived java sources of the jsp
were not
updated when I restarted Tomcat.
I know the problem is not in the webapp itself because i tested
it out on
my
Windoze box before deploying to Linux where the problem occured.
My
question is: how do I force Tomcat to delete the "work" directory
upon
restarting or when I'm building from Ant?
Thanks,
