Sorry, I misunderstood. So something else here is caching your page. Do you have a webserver sitting in front of tomcat or just tomcat?

Oh, no that's not it. It does recompile the code just fine. If you for example call http://myserver/a-path/index.jsp it works fine. Then index.jsp will forward to http://myserver/a-path/servlet/MyServlet and that works just fine. Both path will reflect any changes of the dynamic content from the database. But if you access the index.jsp using http://myserver it will load the content the first time, which it gets from the Servlet and the servlet get from the database. However, from that point on the http://myserver path will keep showing the same content even after changing it in the database. Basically it's only loading the information from the jsp and caching it forever. But if you access the jsp and servlet directly using http://myserver/a-path/index.jsp or for the servlet http://myserver/a-path/servlet/MyServlet they both will reflect the changes. For some reason the context is caching the last content send and never let's it go even though the jsp and servlet show they have the updated information in them. It's not the code that needs to be recompiled, it's the dynamic content from the database that needs to update. Thank You, Justin A.

Hi Justin, The work directory contains the generated source code and compiled classes for JSPs. When a JSP is first requested, Tomcat generates Java source code for the JSP, and then compiles it. Both the source code and the compiled class are stored there. Since you changed your context and didn't change any code, tomcat may not have updated your work directory accordingly. Try shutting down tomcat, deleting the contents of your work directoy and restarting. You should not have to do this everytime.

No, but what will that do for me? Would I have to do that every time? Thank You, Justin A.

Hi Justin, Did you try deleting the contents of the work folder?

I'm having caching problems with Tomcat. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have an app under the mapping of /PageWorks. In the context I have a index.jsp that does a jsp:forward to a servlet that handles the request. So to access the app you have to type http://myserver/PageWorks and it works. But, I want user to be able to type http://myserver and the /PageWorks/index.jsp with respond. So to do this I change the context in the server.xml file to point to PageWorks instead of ROOT. This also worked like I wanted, but the index.jsp is loaded from the /PageWorks app once. Then from there on it sends the old content every time. The servlet that this jsp is forwarding to changes and so does the jsp, but the http://myserver always returns the old. If you access the servlet or jsp using there full http://myserver/PageWorks path you get the new content every time. I've tried all the client side cache tricks, but I know for sure it's the server that's caching it. How can I get this to stop? Thank You, Justin A.
