Hi, 

The WLjspc task in Ant 1.2, as you suggest works only on 4.5.1, since when i
wrote it did not have a wl 5.1 instance installed. Moreover, i have been out
of the mailing list for a long time. Here's what i will do...

In the next couple of days, i will update the docs to reflect what the 1.2
jspc does (it has javadocs, but has not made it to the main docs).

Over the next week or so, i will try and merge some of the jspc tasks that
have been submitted , without breaking any ant 1.2 build files. 

Thanks

Venki,
I'm not sure of the current state of the WLJSPC task.  I had the same needs
you
had so I updated the WLJSPC task from ant 1.2 to work with WebLogic 5.1 &
6.0. 
It's kinda kludgy in spots but it seems to work fine with WebLogic 4.5.1,
5.1,
and 6.0.

The WLJSPC task that is currently included with ant will not work in
WebLogic
5.1 or 6.0 (at least not how you'd expect if you have subdirectories) due to
how packages names are specified.

After some work I also got this task to work in-process.  The original
required
that ant fork to work.  It's still a little slow but I think the slowness
can
be mostly blamed on the weblogic.jspc.

I've attached a jar containing the source files that I've modifed.  They
have
Javadoc in them so that should help you out.

Does anyone know what the current status of this task is in the official ant
releases?  I'd like to see these features get added so I don't have to
continue
maintaining my own version of the task.

Title: Ant optional task manual : wljspc

wljspc

Description

Class to precompile JSP's using weblogic's jsp compiler (weblogic.jspc)

Tested only on Weblogic 4.5.1 - NT4.0 and Solaris 5.7,5.8

Parameters

Attribute	Values	Required
src	oot of source tree for JSP, ie, the document root for your weblogic server	Yes
dest	root of destination directory, what you have set as WorkingDir in the weblogic properties	Yes
package	start package name under which your JSP's would be compiled	Yes
classpath	Class path to use when compiling jsp's	Yes

A classpath should be set which contains the weblogic classes as well as all application classes
referenced by the JSP. The system classpath is also appended when the jspc is called, so you may
choose to put everything in the classpath while calling Ant. However, since presumably the JSP's will reference
classes being build by Ant, it would be better to explicitly add the classpath in the task

The task checks timestamps on the JSP's and the generated classes, and compiles
only those files that have changed.

It follows the weblogic naming convention of putting classes in
_dirName/_fileName.class for dirname/fileName.jsp

Example

Limitations

This works only on weblogic 4.5.1
It compiles the files thru the Classic compiler only.
Since it is my experience that weblogic jspc throws out of memory error on being given too
many files at one go, it is called multiple times with one jsp file each.
