Precompilation is a feature of a particular container -- it's not anything
mandated by the JSP spec. Tomcat's current implementation of that is
"jspc" -- if you don't like jspc for some reason, you'll need to suggest
(or, better, contribute :-) an implementation that does what you want.
But nothing else exists in Tomcat at the moment.
