Ok, replying to my own post...
You can specify a path where tomcat should compile and save the JSP's
using the "scratchdir" parameter for the Jasper servlet :) The default
location of this directory is the working dir of the web-application -
and this directory will be removed when the application is un-deployed
(JBoss is shutdown). Set this servlet parameter to another directory
where the compiled files will be left untouched between server restarts.
So - add the following to your web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>scratchdir</param-name>
<param-value>/path/to/jsp/compile/dir</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
...
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Also - check out the file
<jboss-home>/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/web.xml for
other parameters (development=false might be nice too).
The above is using JBoss 3.2.2 final.
