Cause of 'tmpFile.renameTo(classFile)' during JSP compilation

Question

I'm using Jetty 6 server and sometimes this exception shows up:

java.io.IOException: tmpFile.renameTo(classFile) failed
    at org.apache.jasper.compiler.SmapUtil$SDEInstaller.install(SmapUtil.java:235)
    at org.apache.jasper.compiler.SmapUtil.installSmap(SmapUtil.java:158)
    at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateClass(Compiler.java:390)
    at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.__compile(Compiler.java:437)
    at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java)
    at org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java:608)

Can this be solved by updating Jetty, or does exist any other way?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I was using eclipse and in my case the issue was resolved by just reloading the page once again. The issue occurs first time, but on reloading the page once again I do not see the error.

Answer 2

Try to disable indexing tools, virus scanners and so on for .jsp files.
