It's normal for Tomcat in a development environment; you apparently haven't configured it for production. Your disk activity is likely due to still having autoDeploy turned on in your <Host> elements; look there and for <WatchedResource> elements inside any <Context>, and for monitoring of JSP changes configurable in conf/web.xml. Take a look at this, or hire Mark or Filip to do it for you: http://www.springsource.com/webinar/performance-tuning-apache-tomcat-production - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
