Generated Java files for JSP always removed in 4.0.4GA

[tsangcn]

I found that in JBoss 4.0.4 GA, the generated Java and class files for JSP are always removed when JBoss is shutdown or when web application is undeployed. They are removed even if I specified true for the keepgenerated parameter (which says true is the default).

This cause regenerate and recompile of the JSP every time JBoss is started or when webapp is redeployed.

This does not occur in JBoss 4.0.2 and 4.0.3.

Is this a bug?

Thanks.

Yes, I've found this, too (haven't seen this behavior since 3.2.3...) - have searched JIRA and WIKI to no avail - is this a bug??

The deleting of all generated files for JSP is a stupid behavior to "fix" another issue.

I'm assuming that you're referring to the removal of the files in the work directory after a shutdown. Apparently this was added as a "feature", but I think of it as a bug because the work directory is also the default directory that Tomcat uses to write the serialized HTTP sessions to a file (if enabled). I opened an issue on this:
