Sure, but it sort of begs the question of how one is going to complete the
development process. It's been difficult for me to explain to web
developers at my company that modifications to includes will not show up
unless they touch the file that contained the include. When using a
source control system like Visual Source Safe, files you aren't modifying
are made read-only. So folks can't easily do something like:
find . -name "*.jsp" -exec touch {} \;
even if they knew to do something like that.
I guess I'm puzzled because I don't know of any other major server side
template system (ASP, XSSI) that doesn't automatically recompile (reparse)
included files.
it's good to hear that JSP vendors are going ahead and implementing this
now. the vendor I'm using at the moment does not, but I have made an
appeal to them to do so.
