Re: Compiling JSP's

[Chen, Gin]

There's usually something called jspc that functions like the javac for regular .java files. You run that on your .jsp files and it will first translate it into a Servlet (with a regular .java extension) before compiling it into a .class file. One thing you should know is that a jsp is just another form of a Servlet. All jsps will eventually get compiled back to a Servlet. Look up jspc for Tomcat and also look up the keepgenerated option. That will keep the .java file that is generated from your Servlet so that you have a good idea what it is doing to your JSP page.   -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Kumar P Dhanyamraju [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 2:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Compiling JSP's 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
