Very strange issue. I don't manage the server myself, but can request changes to its configuration.

The server is Apache Tomcat/5.5.9. We usually just write JSP files in Dreamweaver and upload them to the server.

Now here's the issue: Whenever we update a JSP file on the site and then go to view it in the browser, with equal probability we may see the old version of the file or the new one. If we make another change to the file, we may see any of the 3. This isn't a "local" caching issue because if I at the same time try this from another machine on another network, I get the same results.

We have attempted to delete the "cache" folder, but this doesn't generally help.

Any ideas?
