Hot Deploy JSP after modification with Intellij 10.X and tomcat 6.X

Question

I have a Hello-World application with one java class and one jsp. The JSP prints out some text that is embedded in the JSP and from the java class. (It prints out two things) I followed the directions here to create and deploy my application and it (mostly) WORKS! I am able to invoke the JSP and it properly displays the page. I am also able to hotswap changes in the java class after I press the Intellij reload button. Problem: If I change the JSP, it does not get reflected in the browswer. I have verified the following: web.xml in the Tomcat/conf directory does not override the "development" value. The default is true. context.xml in both the HelloWorld\web\META-INF\context.xml and Tomcat\conf\context.xml has reloadable=true That the JSP is copied from C:\code\HelloWorld\web\index.jsp to C:\code\HelloWorld\out\artifacts\HelloWorld_war_exploded\index.jsp on any change immediately Its not a browser cache issue any thoughts?

As I answer this question, IntelliJ IDEA is at version 13.0.2. The options are slightly different since this question was asked. In short, via the "Run/Debug Configurations" panel for your project: Make sure your project is set to be deployed as "war exploded" (via the "Deployment") On the "Server" tab, set "On frame deactivation" to "Update classes and resources" Following those two steps, in order, will result in the project being "hot swapped" when IDEA loses focus (i.e. when you change focus to a web browser).
