Sean, Thanks for verifying the case. It's been mind-boggling. I couldn't understand why it behaved that way ever since I started using CFMX. Such didn't happen in CF 5 cos there isn't any compilation and caching of servlet class to the server's memory.
I'm not familiar with Touch utils. Correct me if i'm wrong, it is a util to update the file's timestamp to the current system time. And thus, CFMX server would be able to detect the 'new' files and recompile them. Sounds like a good solution. I'll give it a try.

On UNIX, you can just 'touch' the file to update the timestamp. I don't know if a similar utility exists for Windows. "I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
