Since you seem to using it in a production system, why donot you precompile the JSP's into classes using ant's jspc and javac task.
In this way, you can remove runtime compilation, and then see if the problem is with your application or javac. saurabh >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/17/02 06:15AM >>> Thanks Torsten, I'll try those settings. I was using the web.xml settings for tomcat 4.0.x because it was the only documentation I could find. We have thousands of jsp pages that are getting compiled as they are accessed. We just upgraded to tomcat 4.1.17 from 3.2.4 so we have to recompile all our pages.

Install jikes 2. Changing conf/web.xml to following: <!-- If you wish to use Jikes to compile JSP --> <!-- Set the init parameter "compiler" to "jikes". --> <!-- the property "-Dbuild.compiler.emacs=true" when starting cat -- <!-- by adding the above to your CATALINA_OPTS environment iable. -- <!-- If you get an error reporting that jikes can't use UTF8 encoding, --> <!-- try setting the init parameter "javaEncoding" to O-8859-1". --> <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>compiler</param-name> <param-value>jikes</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>logVerbosityLevel</param-name> <param-value>WARNING</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet> 3. Define build.compiler as above noted 4.
