            Bug ID: 55807
           Summary: JSP's always marked as outdated with Jar Scanner
                    Component configured with “scanAllDirectories” and
                    referenced Taglib in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: 7.0.47
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Jasper
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: it-media.her...@daimler.com

consider the following (simplified) eclipse project configuration.

web_base_jar (shared taglib etc.)
web_war (uses web_base_jar)

When developing our web project locally we use an exploded war layout. The
compile output
of web_base_jar is directly copied (not as a jar!) to the war’s
web_war/WEB-INF/classes directory by our ide’s (eclipse with sysdeo plugin and
intellij).
Our shared taglib ends up here: web_war/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/myTaglib.tld.
The taglib
is successfully picked up by the Jar Scanner configured with
“scanAllDirectories”.

This leads to the following generated jsp code when myTaglib is used:

  static {
    _jspx_dependants = new
java.util.HashMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Long>(1);
   
_jspx_dependants.put("file:/somepath/pc_web_war_exploded/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/
myTaglib.tld
", Long.valueOf(-1L));
  }

The relevant code for this snippet is in
org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.<init>(TagLibraryInfoImpl.java:173).
Because the Taglib is a file uri
(file:/C:/somepath/pc_web_war_exploded/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/myTaglib.tld)
it is not found by ApplicationContext#getResource and the method
org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.getLastModified(JspCompilationContext.java:437)
returns
-1 in this case.

When the compiler checks if the current jsp is outdated it checks also all
includes/dependants.
Because myTaglib is in the dependants  list of our jsps it is also checked. The
check tests
the lastModified timestamp of the file against -1 and returns always true. See
here org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.isOutDated(Compiler.java:519)
This means that our jsps are recompiled on every request. We have some
workarounds for this but it would be nice if this setup would work out of the
box
