Peter, Thank for the info. Previously I was having problems with inconsistent classes when we do some patches on the deployed application on Tomcat. Somehow the changes made to the jsp files were inconsistent with the parsed results displayed over the browsers. Is there another way of dealing with this matter aside from setting up new catalina.base's, it might not be practical in a production environment to put down one server just for us to assure that parsed JSP's will be consistent? I tried doing the reload but was not successful, changes made were still not viewable on browsers. The only resolution Im doing now is to undeploy and redoploy the application.
