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.
