Why would you precompile jsp files?

Hi Jason, Thanks for that. Yes, it does make sense. A couple of things though, I just ran it with -compile - great. But my query about the work directory and was more towards what I am being 'encouraged' to do from the powers that be. I.e not WAR the app., but put it in the work directory. Is this ill-advised/poor practice? To accomplish this, is it as simple as dragging the compiled source under my work directory, and modifying my web.xml as advised? Why does -compile work, but not appear in the usage?! Also, can I specify a path for the compilation, rather than the classes be placed in the same dirs as the source? (I tried adding a path after the -compile switch, but it constructed and compiled a file with the same name as the class directory destination).
Do I make sense?!
Paul.
Paul,
I just use the -compile option and have jspc do the compilation from .java to .class for me. It seems to work fairly well. Once all the fully compiled (ie .class) files are placed in you applications WEB-INF/classes directory you just need to place the generated web.xml file in WEB-INF. There is an option to create a complete web.xml file that you can place in WEB-INF or, if you already have a web.xml file you want to keep, you can have jspc create an xml fragment that just contains the servlet definitions and mappings that you then add (in the appropriate place) to your existing web.xml. Then just war up you application directory in the normal way (you can even delete the jsps once your certain the servlet mappings are working). If you try to put the generated files in your working directory you won't be able to war them up and deploy them in the normal "put war file under webapps directory and tomcat will expand it when it starts" way. You'd have to ship a complete tomcat directory structure with the work directory already filled in with your compiled jsps. Does that make sense?

jspc -webapp C:\src\site -d C:\src\site\classes -s -l -uriroot C:\src\site
this builds the Java source files to the specified location, but how might I deploy them?
What is a typical deployment after a JSP compilation? Compilation of Java source files, then WAR/JAR? Can I not define the JSP compile to go under my work directory?
The purpose of my efforts is to try and speed up / make TC less memory consumptive.
cheers
Paul.
