tomcat8 - Tomcat 8: how to NOT precompile JSP? -

the manual says not precompile should set (development=false), extract web.xml:

<servlet>     <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>     <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.jspservlet</servlet-class>     <init-param>         <param-name>development</param-name>         <param-value>false</param-value>     </init-param>     <init-param>         <param-name>fork</param-name>         <param-value>false</param-value>     </init-param>     <init-param>         <param-name>xpoweredby</param-name>         <param-value>false</param-value>     </init-param>     <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet> 

my problem i'm still having tomcat 8 precompile jsp files, overwriting newer files. example:

login_jsp.class has date 4/5/17 , time 8:30:04

login.jsp has date 4/5/17 , time 8:29:22

the regenerated login_jsp.java , login_jsp.class both have date 4/5/17 , time 8:29:22

what else must have tomcat 8 respect existing precompiled jsp files?

did set checkinterval? if yes, background compiles may work.

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/jasper-howto.html#configuration

checkinterval - if development false , checkinterval greater zero, background compiles enabled. checkinterval time in seconds between checks see if jsp page (and dependent files) needs recompiled. default 0 seconds.
