developers sitting on machines other than server are not able to change the jsp file

[Partha Bhattacharjee <Pa...@trisoftdesign.com>]

Hello forum , 

I have tomcat in win2000 advanced server. My developers are sitting on win98
and have access to the directories I am storing my jsp into. Now the
developers can acces the file over the network and change it but the change
will not reflect in the browser. However as soon as I open the same file in
win2000 (server ) and just save it the changes are shown in the browser. 

How can I allow  the developers to do the changes in the file and have the
same reflected in the browser without me having to save it. 

Thanks for the help.

I don't suppose it's a date/time thing is it? I've seen odd effects with
file sharing when the two machines are not in sync with their clocks.
