Much has been written about servlet caching in Tomcat, but I don't see a solution out there. I have tried the following code : response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); But I believe this code effects browser cache and not the cache of the servlet engine itself. I have also have added reloadable="true" to the sevlet context of the server.xml file. Am I missing something, or am I just stuck with having to restart Tomcat every time I modify a servlet ? Thank You; John Olmstead dbaDirect John.Olmstead@dbaDirect.com (859) 283 2520 ex 221

  This problem caused me so much time. What I found is Tomcat looks into "classes" before it looks into "lib" dir. The solution is to clean out the "classes" directory to force Tomcat to read from lib only.

  I have expirence a even more strange problem,
  even restarting the Tomcat is not reloading the
  jsp, we even did a reboot and the old jsp is still
  running.
