Thanks for the report Pier. I had been wondering for AGES why the CL would reload the webapp "randomly" after accessing a JSP, telling that a bean class had been modified. I couldn't find a reason why it was a bug (the logging I added to investigate this displayed different dates which didn't appear bogus), but I failed to undestand why it happened. Jasper 2 has some big advantages in production, like being able to disable reloading checks altogether, as well as various other optimizations, which makes the JSP overhead over a servlet almost zero. Obviously, the fix for bug 8290 is also a huge improvement if you're using a lot of tags. Lately, I have found some incompatibilities with JSTL (their examples WAR doesn't really like Jasper 2); the admin webapp (big Struts webapp which is painfully slow with Jasper 1 - and that's with one user on an Athlon XP 1700+ ;-) ) and Watchdog both run very well, though.
