Which one?  Try to be more specific.

This is different from context reloading.  See the JSP configuration options here.

My thought is that this happens because your application is loading these resources through the class loader.  If that's the case, then I would expect this to trigger a reload when you change one of them.

Maybe try setting the log level for "org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader" to FINE.  I believe that should give you some output to indicate the files that Tomcat detects as modified.

Set reloadable to "false".
