Change an include file requires re-compiling all JSP that include it (?)
I come from an ASP background where we would frequently change include files
and see the results immediately. However, in JSP, since JSP pages are
compiled into servlet classes, if I change an include file the JSP file
including it won't get re-compiled because the JSP hasn't changed, just the
include file. Even if I restart Tomcat it still won't recompile the JSPs.
So for now every time I make a change to an include file I have to re-save
all of my JSPs so Tomcat forces a recompile. That's a big pain.
Can somebody help me out here? Is there a way to force re-compilation of
JSPs if the files they include ever change?

Thanks, that did it. I always thought <%@ include %> and <jsp:include%>
were functionally the same. I'm still learning this stuff...

There are 2 ways to include a file:
<%@ include file="relativeURL" %> for static files, parsing JSP elements.
and
<jsp:include page="{reletiveURL | <%= expression %> }" flush="true" { />
|
> [ <jsp:param name="parameterName" value="{parameterValue | <%=
expression%>}" /> ]+
</jsp:include> }
You need the 2nd form. A simple example:
<jsp:include page="include.jsp" flush="true" />

RE: Change an include file requires re-compiling all JSP that include it (?)
Posted by Chris Tucker <ct...@epangea.com>.
Sorry, this is not true. You can have JSP code in a file included through
<jsp:include ... />: the only difference between the two approaches is that
<jsp:include ... /> executes at runtime, whereas <%@include ... %> executes
at compile time. Thus, <%@include ... /> can be seen as somewhat analogous
to a C #include statement, whereas <jsp:include ... /> is more like a Java
import statement. When the server executes a <jsp:include ... /> it
dispatches a request to the indicated URL and includes the response from
that request in the document being served. A <%@include ... %>, in
contrast, simply dumps in all of the (compiled) JSP code from the included
file into your compiled JSP servlet (i.e. there is no separate request
dispatching going on).
You will need to recompile all JSP's using a <%@include %> when the included
file is changed, but the same is not true of <jsp:include ... />'d files.

If your included files don't contain any JSP code, you can use the
<jsp:include... /> directive. This directive includes the file at request
time, rather than page translation time -- so changes to your included file
will show up immediately.
If your included files contain JSP code, then you're stuck with using the
<%@ include... %> and you'll need to recompile all your JSPs whenever the
included file changes.

There are no restrictions on using JSP pages (or servlets) in a
<jsp:include/> action at runtime. This is commonly used, for example, in
a portal-type user interface where the page requested by the user is
essentially a "template" made up of <jsp:include> calls to get all of the
components -- each of which is dynamically created by its own JSP page.
The way to remember the difference (especially if you are a reformed C/C++
programmer :-) is this:
* The "<%@ include %>" directive happens at compile time,
just like the "#include" directive of C or C++.
* The "<jsp:include />" action happens at runtime, and is
just a subroutine call. (In reality, it uses a
RequestDispatcher from the Servlet API under the covers.)

A couple of things you can do, both would be easier than resaving all the
JSPs
1. Delete the generated class files...
2. Touch the JSP files.
