I am using JspC to precompile a large number of JSPs (1000ish). I want to
take advantage of the servlet-mapping generation/merge into web.xml that is
available using the <taskdef classname="org.apache.jasper.JspC"
name="jasper2"> syntax; however, I have been unsuccessful in my efforts to
fork a new JVM (since there is apparently no exposed command-line argument
for this). I consistently run out of memory using this method, despite
ample available memory and Jvm tunings.
I have solved the out of memory errors by instead using a straight <java>
call, which allows me to fork a new JVM. I break up the overall number of
JSPs into smaller batches, and as each batch is completed, memory is
appropriately reclaimed. However, though I still can generate the
servlet-mappings I need for the web.xml, I am not aware of a way to
automatically merge the result into the webapp's web.xml file.
Have others found a way to have your cake (fork a new JVM for JSP
precompilation) and eat it too (automatically merge the generated servlet
mappings into the webapp's web.xml)?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
