hello, try to un-deploy the webapp before copying the new one (with tomcat manager) If it's a caching issue (probably is), kill tomcat/work contents for your webapp (ROOT, jspui) there is no reason to copy webapps to tomcat/webapps Either make a symbolic link to tomcat/webapps for /dspace/webapps/JSPUI (and rename it to ROOT if you need to) in this way you wouldn't have to copy each time you rebuild the contents of the webapps folder (just to rename jspui to ROOT in order for the link to work) Or copy jspui as ROOT in tomcat/webapps
The difference in windows and linux is that there aren't symbolic links (at least to my knowledge) Best of luck!
