Subject:		Can Tomcat automatically recompile JSPs?

Working through this excellent tutorial, I found that I had to go and find the compiled versions of my JSPs and delete them before any changes to the JSPs were reflected in the browser. Is there a way to get Tomcat to automatically reprocess a JSP when it has been changed? Thanks - A.

  Did you ever get an answer to your question? I am having the same problem.

  For reliable recompilation of JSPs I've found tomcat 4 to be better than 3.2.x.
  However your problem sounds more like maybe a timestamp/caching problem.
  To stop browsers caching a page I put the following at the top:
  
  <% response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
  response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
  response.setDateHeader ("Expires", -1); //prevents caching at the proxy
  server
  %>
  Hope this helps,
