AFAIK, the full JDK is needed only for compiling the servlets generated 
from your JSPs. If you only have servlets or precompiled JSPs, the JRE 
should be enough.
I think you can even compile JSPs with only the JRE if you provide a 
javac replacement, as jikes

If you recompile JSPs, remember to add the extra servlet declarations in 
your web.xml deployment descriptor. If you do not do so, they will not work.
