Issue
Customizations to RSA Security-provided .JSP pages are not taken into effect on Apache Tomcat 5.5
Cause
Resolution
1. Shut down Tomcat
2. Locate the Tomcat installation directory, e.g. C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\
3. The cached applications are stored within [Tomcat Installation Directory]\work\Catalina\localhost\ directory - open this folder
4. You will see your customized web application within this directory, e.g. myApplication.war [Tomcat Installation Directory]\work\Catalina\localhost\webapps_myApplication
6. Delete the cached application folder, e.g. \webapps_myApplication
7. Restart Tomcat for changes to take effect - a new \webapps_myApplication folder will be created in the localhost directory with your new changes
8. Access your application from a web browser and you should see your new customized .JSP web pages
