Page not recompiling after being touched

Greetings,

I'm running Tomcat 5.5.15 on Win2k.
I have an Ant script which I used to start and stop tomcat and I pass it 
a customized server.xml file. My Context is not embedded in server.xml 
but rather in a separate context.xml file under /META-INF directory in 
my web app.

The server.xml file sets my host appbase to be a target directory 
created during my build process. I can get tomcat started, and display 
my web app, but if I modify a page in that target directory, Tomcat is 
not picking them up until I stop and start it.

Is there some attribute I need to set in order for Tomcat to pick up 
changes to .jsp pages in the target directory at run time?

Below are relative portions of my server.xml and context.xml docs:


<Server port="@SERVER_PORT@" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
   <Service name="@PROJECT_NAME@-service">
     <Connector port="@SERVICE_CONNECTOR_PORT@" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
                maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
                maxSpareThreads="75"
                enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443"
                acceptCount="100"
                connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

     <Engine name="@PROJECT_NAME@-engine" defaultHost="localhost">
       <Host name="localhost" appBase="@APP_BASE@"
       	    deployOnStartup="true" autoDeploy="false" />
     </Engine>
   </Service>
</Server>



<Context override="true"
          reloadable="true"
          antiJarLocking="true"
          antiResourceLocking="true">
</Context>


Any advice or RTFM would be appreciated.

Mark, thanks so much. I've been over the docs so many times, but I 
missed this tidbit.

If you use antiResourceLocking, modified JSPs are not detected. This
is in the docs. See
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
