Correct me if I'm wrong. One of the things the JDK brings that the JRE does not is tools.jar which contains com.sun.tools.javac, which is needed to compile JSPs. It might be possible to use the JRE as long as you have tools.jar from the JDK somewhere in your classpath. It seems like I saw a thread related to this a while ago, although I don't know if it works. Is there a compelling reason to want to use the JRE rather than the full JDK?
