Hello Tomcat Users, We have currently begun the migration from 5.5.7 to 5.5.15 in my shop. All has been going smoothly except for one quirk that we don't seem to understand. I apologize if this has been covered in some form, but I've spent a good portion of the past two days looking for an answer and haven't see any mention.
The problem is that the way times/dates of exploded WAR files are handled between 5.5.7 and 5.5.15. If I take two similarly configured Tomcat installations, one 5.5.7 and one 5.5.15 and deploy identical WAR files to it, I get two diffent results. In the 5.5.7 installation all the files exploded from the WAR in the webapps directory have the time/date stamp of when it was exploded. In the 5.5.15 installation, all the files exploded in the webapps directory have the original time date stamps contained inside the WAR. In a perfect world this wouldn't be much of a problem, but it does present an issue in our shop where it is not uncommon to have to 'roll-back' to a previous version of a WAR. Under 5.5.7 this is not a problem since the redeployed old file has a newer time/date stamp, but under 5.5.15 it's a little trickier since it won't recompile files with older time stamps. This probably wouldn't be a problem if Tomcat would recompile files with ANY timestamp change to them as opposed to the method in which it currently works. Has anyone else noticed this issue? What am I doing wrong?
