It might be helpful to know if you deleted items out of your work directory or if you are implying you have to leave cached JSPs there without touching them, but you altered something else?
I guess like Chuck suggested, we'd be guessing at this, but it almost sounds like you are afraid to dump the contents of the work directory because you want some things left to be easily accessed through cache, while you made some changes in the web app? I'd restart it. -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:chuck.caldar...@unisys.com] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2011 2:29 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Question on WORK directory of tomcat container > From: Savoy, Melinda [mailto:melindasa...@texashealth.org] > Subject: Question on WORK directory of tomcat container > Due to a conflict between the cached JSPs in the work directory of a > tomcat container on our app's QA Windows > 2003 server, does the tomcat service have to be restarted? What? Please ask someone unfamiliar with whatever problem you're having take a look at the above and see if it makes any sense to them. After you explain it to them, send the explanation to the mailing list so we'll have some idea of what you're talking about. In general, a problem in a single webapp does not require restarting Tomcat, but might need a restart or redeploy of the webapp. I have no idea if that applies in your case. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
