Hi !
Yes, it does work !! This plus my discovery of yesterday (Eclipse's working
sets) et voila ! My productivity increases. But just three things to add :
2006/12/2, Rashmi Rubdi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Then inside the above context XML file define your context for example:
<Context docBase="C:/dev/projects/YourProjectName/__source"
privileged="false" antiResourceLocking="false"
antiJARLocking="false" crossContext="false" reloadable="true"
cachingAllowed="false">
</Context>
For me, I must give the project root to the docBase attribute. Otherwise, it
throws exceptions saying my taglibs are not found. Maybe it's because my
sourceFolder is in a sub-folder of my project root while my libFolder is
under /WEB-INF/libs (WEB-INF itself being under the root).
***
Now re-start Tomcat and make some changes to your JSP file and you can
simply refresh your browser to see the changes, no need to perform ANT or
other deploy to webapps to see your changes.
***
Yes, all is fine, except that if I undeploy my webapp for a reason or
another, the webapp.xml gets erased by Tomcat. Not a real concern !
***
The simplest thing to do, if all you're after is to be able to see
changes to JSPs quickly, without any compiling, redeploying, etc, is
just to put the JSP files directly in a folder in $TOMCAT_HOME/
webapps, and edit them there.

That's not so easy when you use Eclipse. Because of its workspaces and
all...
Anyway, thank you two from a new Tomcat / JSP user !

Pierre Goupil
It's even simpler to simply keep your source files in your original project
directory independent of Tomcat
and simply change the Context file's docBase attribute to point to where
your project is located.
This way your project is independent of Tomcat upgrades etc, and all
project files are outside Tomcat.
