I wrote the file: stuff before the introduction of njar: - I shall try to find time to look at this tonight.
The Jasper/packed problem has been around in various guises as long as Jasper. I think, ultimately, someone should take a proper look at Jasper and figure out a way of LAZILY unpacking any resource (jars and java sources) to which Jasper might make reference. As you have said, even if all the Jetty stuff ships unpacked (which it should do anyway), there will still be other packed resources which the compilation may make reference to. Not to mention the packed webapp which contains the JSPs in the first place. What we really need is a wrapper around the compiler which uses getResource() and streams for all it's resources instead of files. JSP 1.2 should have done this anyway, since it ships with Servlet 2.3 in which this is the preferred modus operandi. I figure that any other approach is a hack and ultimately probably wasted effort. Perhaps we can interest someone who is into JSPs sufficiently to fix this properly for all WebContainers. In conclusion, I see it as a Jasper, not a Jetty/JBoss issue and as such it should be fixed there, rather than making our own stuff leap through a load of hoops and still ending up with something which never works 100% anyway. Thoughts ?
