Tomcat 3.1 doesn't automatically detect changes to files you include using
the include directive. You have to change the modification date of the
JSP page that includes it before Tomcat creates a new version. On a Unix
system this is easy to do using the touch command. I'm not sure if there's
something similar for Windows.
You may want to use the <jsp:include> action instead. It includes the output
from the specified page, instead of merging the specified page with the
including page like the include directive does. A drawback with the action
though is that it flushes the buffer before including the page, so you can't
forward, redirect or set headers after the include. Tomcat 3.1 also have
problems reporting runtime errors that occurs after an include action.
