Harry Metske commented on JSPWIKI-620:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for your feedback Rolf, and yes I think too there aren't many people
using this war-tomcat.
We (mainly the work of Andrew) did port this task to JSPWiki 3.0 , and was
renamed to jar-compiled-jsps (precompiling jsp's is not tomcat specific).
The main advantage is a speedup for the first user, I don't know if there are
any other advantages (maybe security ?).
I had a look at TemplateManager and my findings are that
TemplateManager.findResource() uses
javax.servlet.ServletContext.getResourceAsStream("/templates/default/ViewTemplate.jsp")
to determine which template to use.
If the physical jsp's aren't there (this is the case with precomiled jsp's), it
always returns null, and we fail.
The Servlet API (http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/) is not exactly clear
in it's intended behavior, I would expect that getResource and
getResourceAsStream would take the servlet mappings in web.xml into account,
but apparently they don't.
So I see 3 options now :
1. Use something else than getResourceAsStream to find out which template to use
2. When using precompiled jsp's, als copy the source jsp's into the war
3. forget about this whole precompiling jsp's
Option 1 is the preferred one, anyone have any suggestions on the
implementation ?
Option 2 is a kludge, and will confuse people.
Option 3 is the easiest of course, but we will loose something.
Anyone wants to comment ?
