Manoj's advice is good. I just thought I'd elaborate on this:
Also, tomcat looks for the entry 'reloadable' in its context entries. If set to
true, it will automatically reload any classes that are changed.
Often I don't bother defining context entries - it's convenient enough for me to just
let Tomcat deploy whatever it finds in the /webapps/ directory. If you're doing
things that way, then you won't be able to find any context entries in which to add
the reloadable attribute. In that case you have to add a DefaultContext element
(inside Host) like so:
DefaultContext reloadable=true/
It's described here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/defaultcontext.html
As far as I can tell all reloadable is really good for is changes to the classpath -
so new Jars, classes and properties files inside WEB-INF/classes.
In addition:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5497:
Tomcat pays no attention at all to changes in files included by the %@ include
% directive (it doesn't matter what your browser is). If you want the JSP page
to be recompiled, you must modify the timestamp of the JSP page itself.
- Craig McClanahan, 2001-12-19
Here are two ways to force a complete recompile of every jsp:
1. touch every jsp (the unix utility that changes the datestamp on files).
2. or delete all subdirectories inside /Tomcat/work/* and restart Tomcat.

Subject: problem: cannot autorecompile jsp
Hai,
I faced some trouble in using tomcat, hope you can solve the
problem for
me.
below are some of the main points:
-I installed Tomcat4.1.9 beta on linux server
-Develop in windows enviroment by using samba
-But i got problem like this: No changes from the browser when i edit
the jsp file in windows but instance change when i edit the jsp file
using vi. I tried to log this into to tomcat bug database [11963]
before, Andrew Conrad had give me some advise.
-Andrew Conrad told me that it should my samba problem, but nothing to
do with tomcat. so i ask him may i know how tomcat check the file is
modified or not and he told me i can try to send email to this address
-I also suddenyl think off that it should not be the samba
problem. This
is because i have another Miva web engine running in the same server,
but all the development works were done without problem.
May anyone help me on this?
