Timestamp on generated .java and .class should match the one on .jsp

           Summary: Timestamp on generated .java and .class should match the
                    one on .jsp
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.4 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mariuss@lightspeed.ca


The timestamp on generated .java and .class files is the time when they are
generated and this can cause problems. The timestamp on these files should be
exactly the same timestamp as the one on the corresponding .jsp file.

Here is an example:
- revision 6 of a file called index.jsp is timestamped at May 10, 10:00 am
- this revision 6 is labeled and branched for a production rollout
- the main branch gets a new revision, not meant for rollout yet: revision 7 at
May 11, 9:00 am
- the production is finally rolled out on May 12 and the page gets compiled upon
the first hit at May 12, 3:00 pm
- the index.java and index.class files are stamped with May 12, 3:00 pm
- in a month a new production rollout, now revision 7 of index.jsp makes it to
the production server
- the timestamps are as follows at this point (on the production server):
  - index.jsp: May 11, 9:00 am (revision 7)
  - index.java and index.class: May 12, 3:00 pm (based on revision 6)
- hits on index.jsp will not trigger a recompile even though they should
