Well, not only Tomcat but other application servers need JDK to compile
JSPs. I'm not sure if JDK1.1.8, but JDK1.2.x or later provides a jar file
named tools.jar, which contains a java compiler. That is used to turn your
JSP into a Servlet. The first time you access to a JSP the server parses it.
You get a .java file with the Java code from your JSP (and some other that
the server adds) and the HTML code is turned into out.println(<HTML code>)
sentences (or some other output method). It's then compiled, and executed.
So the next time you access that page, it just executes the Servlet.
I work with WebSphere, and I've tried Tomcat and Orion, and that's what I've
seen they do...
I hope that helps
