Hi everyone, I have a fairly elaborate problem but hope that some people out there can help with it.
I am trying to take a large webapp and create pre-compiled JSPs. We already compile the java into class files, then package in JARs, then finally a WAR, but we would like to be able to package the JSPs into a neat package, too. The first hurdle was trying to circumvent the issue of when JSPs include each other and a bean is used in both JSPs but can only be declared once when the JSPs are combined. Thus, you have to leave out the bean declaration in the second JSP but then it will not compile on it's own because it has no knowledge of the bean. Fortunately, in the recent Tomcat releases, it's possible to use the flag 'errorOnUseBeanInvalidClassAttribute' to ignore this problem. Once the JSPs have been turned into Java classes by Jasper2, it's not too hard to compile them into class files. But how do you deploy these compiled classes so that Tomcat knows to use them? If the Whatever.jsp file doesn't exist, how does Tomcat know where or how to find the compiled JSP file? Should I put them in a JAR and deploy somewhere? Do I need to change the web.xml or similar to inform Tomcat about this? If anyone has any suggestions, advice or solutions to this, I would be eternally grateful! :) Thanks, Richard. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
