.jsp files not recompiled in jboss-3.2.4 / tomcat after rede

[jleech]

After I redeploy my .ear file, tomcat is not recompiling any modified .jsps.

I did some digging around and for some reason all the file times of the expanded .war file under jboss-3.2.4/server/default/tmp/deploy/tmpXXXapp.ear-contents/app.war are off by 6 hours (earlier).

If I restart jboss, the changes take effect, but that is just because by default it is wiping out the tomcat work directory.

Has anyone else observed this behavior? Is there a workaround? I have downloaded the jboss source, where should I start looking to find and fix the bug?

Looks like the culprit is a TimeZone.setDefault() in my code that is causing the file times to be off in File.setLastModified().

How does your code end up having any effect on JBoss's work file metadata?
