Tomcat specific question (JSP not refreshing)

I've been working with Tomcat for the past 4 days without any problems but for some reason today, there's one particular JSP file it's just refusing to see changes for :( I've cleared my browser cache, removed everything from the 'work' directory, double checked the file, deleted the file and re-added it, restarted the server (about ten times!), added reloadable="true" to the context descriptor and nothing seems to be working. Tomcat is feeling like it sometimes has a mind of it's own :(

This is tomcat5 on Ubuntu (Feisty).

Any hints?

Hmm... Frustrating. Adding a space to the end of the file so it changed again allowed tomcat to notice the change. Very weird. I can't fathom out where tomcat is keeping all the cached files now though. I was told they were in $install_dir/work and indeed, tomcat does put a lot of files in there, but deleting them doesn't seem to influence anything.

When the tomcat server starts, the .class files of the jsps are formed. Find and delete the class file of the jsp which is giving problem and then restart the Tomcat server. The new class file will be formed and your problem will be solved.All the best!!
