jsp and tomcat 4

[Marco Magistrali <ma...@ariadne.it>]

Hi,

I have a question:
    if I modify a JSP under tomcat4 i don't see any change in browser because
tomcat4 get the .class of JSP in cache (directory work)

How can I say to recompile the jsp if there are changes in java??

That is indeed the case.  It's fixed in nightly build 20010717 (which also
incorporates the security vulnerability fix), and will be fixed in the
Tomcat 4.0-beta-6 release that will be forthcoming later this week.

I've been having the same problem.  When I modify a JSP, it isn't recompiled
automatically.  However, if I delete the .class file associated with the
JSP, both the .java and the .class files associated with the JSP are
rebuilt.  So I've been deleting the .class files whenever I make JSP
changes.

I recall someone on this list mentioning that Tomcat 4b5 had a known bug
regarding detection of changes in source files, so I've assumed that was the
problem I've been seeing.

I'm using standalone Tomcat 4b5 in a Win2000 environment.

If anyone knows of a configuration change or a work-around that could get my
JSPs to compile properly when changed, please let me know!

Thanks
David

You need to make changes to a jsp file, not java file.  Tomcat will detect
changes automatically and will translate jsps into java files and then compile
them.
