Compiling JSP's

[Kumar P Dhanyamraju]

Hello All,   I apologise for asking a small question like this. But I could not find the answer for this question. I am very intersted in knowing about this. How is a .jsp(compiled) generated? Is it like a .class that is generated from a java file compilation. I would also like to find out in order to compile a .jsp Do I need a separate compiler or is it just like javac .java type of compile using jdk and the classpath change.   I would appreciate your answers.   Thanks once again for your help.   Aruna
