PageCheckSeconds not working in WLS 5.1SP11. Strange behavior..

Question

          Hello All,
          We are using Weblogic 5.1 SP11 and I am seeing a strange behavior when I use the
          JSPC pre-compiler.
          Using JSPC compiler, I get class/source files in the workingDir that have two underscores
          prepended to the file name...Eg : index.jsp is translated into __index.java and pre-compiled
          into __index.class. Now when i start the webserver and
          then access this page, it does a re-compile and then
          creates class files and source files that have one underscore prepended to the file
          name Eg : index.jsp is precompiled into index.java and index.class.
          Also, the byte sizes of the two classfiles are different...What is the reason for
          this occurence ??....I looked at index.jsp and it does not contain a <jsp:include>
          that could have potentially explained the issue...
          I have set the pageCheckSeconds in the weblogic.properties file to -1 and also we
          are using the exploded directory format....
          Could someone please explain this phenomenon with WLS ??...How do
          you let WLS know about the pre-compiled classes ???...

          Please let me know if more information is needed....
