Re: Jikes and Tomcat for JSP compilation

[Brett M. Bergquist]

I've got Jikes working with Tomcat 3.2.2.  Tomcat 3.2.x does not read the
"web.xml" file that is in "conf" so you need to update your own web
application's "web.xml".  Add the following lines:



jsp


org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet


jspCompilerPlugin

org.apache.jasper.compiler.JikesJavaCompiler


jspCompilerPath

d:\test\CanogaView\Jikes\win32\1.12\bin\jikes.exe


-2147483646



changing d:\test\CanogaView\Jikes\win32\1.12\bin\jikes.exe to the path where
you have jikes installed and also



jsp


*.jsp



Note that you will get a warning from stderr of something like:

2001-06-06 04:06:34 - Ctx( /CanogaView ): Removing duplicate servlet jsp
jsp(org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet/null)
2001-06-06 04:06:34 - Ctx( /CanogaView ): Removing duplicate *.jsp ->
jsp(org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet/null)

This is because Tomcat has a builtin JSP servlet and mapping configuration
and you are overriding this.

Re: Jikes and Tomcat for JSP compilation

Hi Peter (and anyone else following this thread),

If it's any consolation, I've asked the same question on many mailing lists
over a long period of time, and nobody's given a working answer yet.

I have a JDK installed (hence I've got "javac"), plus Jikes.  When using
Jikes from the commandline, it works fine.  I've even uncommented the line
in "web.xml".  But I never seemed to get it working, as in "the pages still
compiled, but there was no way of knowing if it was jikes or javac that did
it...".  I tried renaming Jikes.exe to _jikes._exe to see if Tomcat missed
it, but it didn't complain, so I just assumed it hadn't been taken into
account anyway.

I suspected that I needed to copy all (or part) of the default web.xml into
each web-app's WEB-INF folder, uncommenting the "jikes" line as appropriate.
However, this didn't work at all well, as it seemed to give Tomcat a
headache.  I've already posted on this ("overriding default web.xml with
custom web.xml).  Not a lot of luck there either...

Hope someone can give a clear answer as to how to do this -- and verify that
it works!

Jikes and Tomcat for JSP compilation

[WEST, Peter]

can anybody point me to a straightforward "how to get Tomcat to compile JSPs
with Jikes rather than JDK" tutorial?

So far I have changed web.xml server.xml (both of which made no difference).
I have also read that it may be necessary to change the source of a line in
webserver.jar I have the details of this but dont exactly believe it is
necessary??

Any pointers? Ideas?

thanks,

Pete
