Robert,
I would like to apologize for allowing myself to get into a flame war
on your thread. My original intent was to point out an area that I had
noticed had gotten a lot of postings and sounded similar to yours.
Most of the posts made reference to the cache or workfiles and thus
that is also what I was referring to as a means for searching.
Unless I am sure of something I always try to let the reader know
that. That is why I said things like "sounds like" and "you may be".
I did mistype a word, I meant to say delete the "folder" instead of
"cache".
Again, I apologize for letting myself get sidetracked.
Now back on topic.
If you are working on two separate machines for deployment and
programming, you may want to ensure that both machine have the same
time. It should not make a difference between 5.5 and 5.0 but may be
worth checking.

Robert,
Now that Remy has tested it in his perfect world, this gives some
direction
to work in. It would appear that with a basic setup, which we can only
assume since Remy assured you that it works, that there must be a OS
issue.
I wonder what Remy runs?
If you decide to dig deeper, I would layout the code for the two
versions
and see where they differ. Then with this information you could
submit a bug
report with all the details. Hopefully it could be changed unless
there was
a compelling reason.
I am so glad that Remy pointed out that I was wrong, but had no
explanation
for why you were having problems. Considering that I was only
suggesting a
direction to look in. But then again if you had been running Windows
then I
may have been right.
Don't let the snotty attitude get to you. You encounter those type on
the
list from time to time.
Please try to make sense next time. Writing inaccurate statements
while appearing to "know things" will confuse people, and will be much
worse than posting nothing. If you don't really know, then don't post
funky theories as facts.
Your main assertion is baseless "5.5 has a hard time letting go of the
cache/workfiles". Do you actually know what you are talking about ? I
suppose not.
Doug,
Thanks for all your assistance so far.
I think i have discovered the cause of my problem. After deploying my
application using the tomcat manager application on 5.0, the application
is loaded from the directory that you specify in the "WAR or Directory
URL" box. However, when you deploy on 5.5 using the manager, it seems to
take a copy of the folder and put it under 'webapps'. So when I have
been re-compiling my classes, they were being re-compiled into the
orignal directory. Under tomcat 5.0's this is fine. But since the web
application on 5.5 is running out of a copied folder, my changes are in
fact going in the wrong place! I tried updating the COPY in 5.5 and it
reloaded fine.
It seems to be just a subtle difference in the way the manager on 5.0
and 5.5 works by default.
Thanks again,
- Robert.
