recompiling JSPs when static included file changes

I am using the static include to include one JSP in another JSP. If the included file changes, Tomcat does not seem to recompile the including page. Is there a way to configure Tomcat to detect this and recompile the including page? Thanks

JDBC Connection Pools

Just a sanity check question: It looks like Tomcat does not inherently support JDBC Data Source and/or connection pools - with Weblogic I can set one up in the config.xml file. Am I correct in this assumption? Do people write their own connection pool manager for JDBC connections when using

putting custom code in front of Struts Main Servlet

This is a bit off topic but we are using Tomcat with Struts. We want to be able to always execute some code before the Struts servlet is invoked, to check for things like lost session, permission, etc. What is the best way to do this? I'm thinking either have a servlet that we send everything

Upgrading xerces.jar

What do people do when they want to upgrade their version of xerces.jar? Looks like I can just put the latest version in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. If I put it in the WEB-INF/lib of my webapp, will that override Tomcat's default Xerces JAR file? Also, is there a way to find out the version of

opening JAR file from within Tomcat App

I need to open a JAR file from within my Tomcat app and read some of the files. Question: What's the best way to get the absolute path Name of the Jar file so that I can pass that name to a JarFile object? I tried placing the JAR file in the WEB-INF\lib directory thinking its full path name

running Tomcat as a service/daemon on Linux

Is it possible to set up Tomcat on a Linux machine such that I can start it/stop with the service command, i.e. service tomcat start service tomcat stop If so, how would one do this? Do most people set up Tomcat as a daemon on Unix machines? If so, tips on how this is done appreciated!!

Re: SUMMARY: /*.jsp only invoked when run from localhost

Do you include the mod_jk.conf in your httpd.conf file? If so, at what point in the file do u include it? I've tried taking the VirtualHost tag off but then I get syntax errors when reading httpd.conf. It doesnt like the JkMount directives. -Chris - Original Message - From: Shannon

mod_jk versus mod_proxy

I'm confused as to what the relationship is between mod_jk and mod_proxy. It seems that I can use both to have the Apache web server handle SSL and static content, and forward jsp/servlets requests onto Tomcat. Is one considered a replacement for the other? If so, which one should I use? If

Setting JkMount for root context servlets, jsps

If I have a web app under Tomcat set as the root context, how should I set up my JkMount specs in mod_jk.conf such that calls to anything ending in .jsp or starting with /servlet are sent to tomcat? All of the examples I've seen so far redirect calls to Tomcat just based on the context name,
