How to purge tomcat's cache when deploying a new .war file? Is there a config setting?

Question

I have a simple hello, world servlet application that I am just playing around with, and pushing it out to my tomcat server on a VPS.

When I make a change to my code

Answer 1

Seems a timestamp issue. According to tomcat documentation, if there is a new jsp or servlet this will create a new _java file in the work folder unless the _java.class files are newer than the jsp or servlets.
