I'm finding that Tomcat runs JSPs rather nicely (some of the examples are
still broken, though, I think). Instead of compiling directly, I just let
Tomcat compile 'em when they're first requested, but I had to add JAVA_HOME
to my environment (Win2000, IIS, in this case) so that Tomcat actually fired
up with a proper path to tools.jar in its classpath.
