Thanks for the information.

I know it is not the browser caching.  I've tried both IE and Firefox,
clearing all caches and refreshing.

I did look more closely at what Tomcat is doing when it hot redeploys
my WAR file.  I'm using an unmodified copy of Tomcat to test this
issue.  So Tomcat deploys the new HTML files here:

C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\webapps\war-file-name\

But it leaves the old HTML files here:

C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\work\Catalina\localhost\war-file-name\

And the browser is getting the old HTML files.

If I shut down the server, delete C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\work\, and
restart the server, the browser sees the new HTML files.

Is deleting the "work" directory standard practice for completely
refreshing web content?  I can't do it while Tomcat is accessing the
files.  Or is there a configuration option that will cause Tomcat to
delete and recreate the work directories when redeploying?

Again, thank you.
