Hello, I recently upgraded from */Tomcat 8.0.9/***to */8.0.33/*.
I have a zip file that contains JSPs. When the context starts a custom /ThemeManager /class looks at a /theme.jar/ file and extracts some SiteMesh decorators to /WEB-INF/decorator-template/.
Since I upgraded to 8.0.33, Tomcat does not seem to be able to detect that those files have been extracted. The error I am seeing in the console is:
*/javax.servlet.ServletException: File [/WEB-INF/decorator-template/decorator-default.jsp] not found/*
The error is quite obviously not finding the file, but it is in that location. No changes have been made to the ThemeManager class and everything still works fine in 8.0.9.
Currently I need to restart Tomcat 8.0.33 a second time to see the extracted files. After that I can happily make changes to the /theme.jar/, the /ThemeManager /will redeploy it and Tomcat will serve the new version of the file. It is as if Tomcat 8.0.33 does not know those files have been extracted from the /theme.zip/ and requires a restart before it will recognise they exist. *Does anyone know why this may be (has there been a change in the way Tomcat manages JSPs recently?), and better yet - does anyone have a solution?*
I tried to set */development/* to */true/* in */conf/web.xml/*//but it didn't help and I'm not sure that would be suitable for live/./ I have checked my web-apps log files between 8.0.9 and 8.0.33 and can't see any differences. It seems that Tomcat 8.0.33 is behaving differently to 8.0.9.
/ /Thanks Gavin./ /
