The working directory that should contain the pre-compiled and compiled JSPs is created (its name is derived from the context path), but no files are created there. Instead of this another (XXXX_path) directory is created in "tomcat404_base\work\Tomcat-Internal\localhost" directory and (pre-)compiled JSPs are being placed there. Moreover, the user sees the wrong information about the working directory in the output window. See the log file : "localhost_path_log.yyyy-mm-dd.txt".
*** Issue 28355 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
The name of the directory is changed on purpose. That way, changing the context path does not make problems. The server still creates the directory with the old name (and it may still use it) - only the JSP compiler creates the new one. This in no way affects the functionality - the server works as it should. I suggest changing this to INVALID - or at least downgrading to P5.
Sorry, this is NOT fixed. Mea culpa.
Fixed in Tomcat 5 - JSP compilation has been replaced by JSP validation.
