I just did a simple test against the exploded jmx-console.war that comes in AS 4.x. There are no temps created for this app. As for how the jsp changes are picked up in exploded deployments (on AS4.x), from what i remember - the timestamp of the jsp file is compared against the generated servlet classes (i don't exactly remember where this logic resides, but i strongly believe its somewhere within tomcat/jboss web code). I guess the same logic applies for xhtml files, not sure. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4224007#...
