thanks again for the replies. i guess i wasn't clear... i, of course, have tried this; the status quo is (and has been) that our team has to restart the server for any .tag changes made. it has been this way since i was hired a year ago, and, of course, we'd benefit greatly from being able to tweak changes in real time.
and i agree with you, i know our tomcat is old :) unfortunately, we're stuck with it right now. i saw these in the spec: "Upon deployment, the JSP container must search for and process all tag files appearing in these directories and subdirectories." "For each tag file in the web application, a tag handler is made available to JSP pages and other tag files. The specifics of how this is done are left up to the Con- tainer implementation. For example, some Containers may choose to compile tag files into Java tag handlers, whereas others may decide to interpret the tag handlers." so my question is, can tomcat 5.02a be configured to compile .tag files on the fly? again, this is not the case for our current configuration. thanks again, john David Smith-2 wrote: > > I would guess from a brief look at the jsp 2.0 spec, the answer is yes, > but didn't read far enough to be absolutely sure.
