JSP Always compile

[John Sokel <js...@orbitz.com>]

Need help with my JSPs compiling over and over again.  I run the JSP examples that come with tomcat, and when you load the page the first time the JSP compiles and takes a little while to load.  Every time after that, it loads the class from the work folder and it is much faster.  

However, when I put in my jsp pages, the pages compile every single time.  I cannot seem to figure out why.  I look at the work folder, and it keeps creating new .java files and recreating the .class file. So my directory looks like:
-----------------.class
-----------------_jsp_0.java
-----------------_jsp_1.java
-----------------_jsp_2.java

A new file is created for each request and recompiled, rather than using the existing class.  I can not figure out what is different from my pages and the example pages.  Any ideas.

I'm running on RH Linux 6.2 with Apache.
