Thanks Yoav. Now I know what it is for.
Any ideas why I am having problems starting up a JSP after I have run a servlet? Tomcat seems to continue referring to the servlet information even when it has been stopped and started and I have even rebooted. It's like the servlet takes over and the JSP is lost. I have included log files and so on in another message with this same title.

To hold temporary tomcat work products, e.g. the compiled JSP servlets. Tomcat uses this space as it sees fit, and tomcat is responsible for the freshness / dirtiness (in cache terms) of the contents of the work directories, as long as you follow standard deployment / reloading procedures for your web applications. If you have cause to belive tomcat is serving old contents, e.g. an old version of a JSP, one thing to try is stop tomcat and clean out the work directory.
