I would like to see it in the release notes. As a user (who lurks in the dev list), I do not delete the work directory when upgrading. Because of having 2000+ JSP's on a site, we try to avoid having mass JSP recompiles.
Or is my point worthless since this should only really affect users going from 4.0.X to 4.1.X (when 4.1.X is considered "final")? Since I doubt anyone is using any of the current 4.1.X releases for productional use. Anyhow, here is a quick stab at a release note blurb if it is worth being noted: ------------------------------------------- JSP users upgrading from versions <= 4.1.7 ------------------------------------------- A change has been made to the naming convention of JSP work files. If you precompile JSP's, you will need to re-precompile them before using this release. Another side effect is all JSP's will be recompiled on first use (excluding the precompiled JSP's just mentioned). For users upgrading, we recommend deleting your work directory ($TOMCAT_HOME/work) after upgrading so old work files are cleaned up. -Tim Kin-Man Chung wrote: >>Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 14:15:16 -0400 >>From: Tim Funk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Subject: Re: cvs commit: > > jakarta-tomcat-jasper/jasper2/src/share/org/apache/jasper > JspCompilationContext.java > >>To: Tomcat Developers List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit >> >>Yeah! $ is replaced by _ when JSP's are converted to java files. >> >>Question: >>When someone upgrades to this release, would it be advisable for the >>user to eliminate the work directory (or clean it) since an older >>compiled JSP now has the wrong name? >> > > > Yes.
