Jasper Compilation - Vol. 2 (continued from Webapp Precompilation using Antand Jasper howto)

[Johannes Fiala]

Hi there,

I've just built an ant task to allow for compilation of Jsps (jspc)
*) the compiled jsps are put into /web/WEB-INF/src/*.java
*) a generated WEB-INF directory is created at 
/web/WEB-INF/generated_web.xml

However, I'd like to accomplish the following:
*) automatically merge the generated_web.xml into the web.xml that already 
exists
*) deploy the webapp to the container (not only install, I mean deploy)

Has anybody done this so far?
thx
Johannes
