Hi Nicolas, Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate your help. I'm not sure I fully understand your solution. I see now that the webXmlFragment provides a convenient way to generate the XML needed for the Servlets but that have bizarre names.
Let's say I have a jsp: /RichardsApp/DoSomething.jsp Running Jasper at it provides a java file: /RichardsApp/DoSomething_jsp.java Then the Servlet definition would be: <servlet> <servlet-name>RichardsApp.DoSomething_jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>RichardsApp.DoSomething_jsp</servlet-class> </servlet> The way to reference my JSP used to be: http://myserver:8080/RichardsApp/DoSomething.jsp What would the new reference be? http://myserver:8080/RichardsApp/DoSomething_jsp or http://myserver:8080/RichardsApp/DoSomething Have I missed something obvious? Thanks for your help! Richard. -----Original Message----- From: Karasek-XID, Nicolas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 September 2005 12:04 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Pre-compiled JSPs? Hi, You need to insert in your web.xml the reference to the precompiled servlets. Jasper can generate a web.xml fragment when turning JSP into servlets. You can then insert the fragment into your web.xml Something like this with ant: <!-- turn jsp into servlets --> <jasper2 verbose="0" package="your.package" validateXml="false" uriroot="${webapp.path}" webXmlFragment="generated-web.xml" outputDir="${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/src" /> <!-- Load the precompiled snippet into a property --> <loadfile property="precompiled" srcFile=" generated-web.xml" encoding="ISO-8859-1" /> <!-- Now replace the web.xml with a predefined snippet --> <!-- copy web.xml --> <replace file="web.xml" value="${precompiled}"> <replacetoken><!-- jsp-servlets will be inserted here - do not remove this line --></replacetoken> </replace> -----Original Message----- From: Richard Burman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: lundi 5 septembre 2005 12:44 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Pre-compiled JSPs? 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
