Maintaining modification times in web applications

[Mark O'Driscoll <ma...@eircom.net>]

When tomcat extracts elements from a WAR file using Jar, it creates them
with the current time as their last modification time, as opposed to the
originals files mod times (as per tar).

Is there any way to get tomcat/jar to mainatin the modification times?

What I reall want to do is stop tomcat from re-compiling all my jsps each
time I update the war file. What would be really neat would be if tomcat
could check the compile time dependencies (like make) and only recompile as
required. That's a bit tricky, I guess?
