I got it working.
There must have been a problem with how I set the classpath.
First I managed to get working this :
<java classname="org.apache.jasper.JspC"
classpath="${basedir}/tools/common/lib/servlet.jar;${basedir}/tools/lib/jasper-runtime.jar;${basedir}/tools/lib/jasper-compiler.jar"
fork="true" dir="${deploy.home}">
<arg line="-d ${workdir} -webapp web"/>
</java>
And then I tried a similar thing with jspc :
<jspc srcdir="${deploy.home}/web" destdir="${work.dir}"
classpath="${toollib.dir}/jasper-runtime.jar;${toollib.dir}/jasper-compiler.jar;${servletlib.dir}/servlet.jar">
<include name="**/*.jsp"/>
</jspc>
which also works fine.
I have noticed that jspc has a nested webapp tag, but I didn't get it working.
E.g. I cannot specify it alone, I have to keep "include" tag as well, which
is somehow strange.
Another problem is with using javac to compile generated *.java files :
<javac srcdir="${work.dir}" destdir="${work.dir}"
classpath="${basedir}/classes:${toollib.dir}/Apollo.jar:${toollib.dir}/jdom.jar:${toollib.dir}/jspsmartupload.jar:${toollib.dir}/ant.jar:${toollib.dir}/velocity.jar:${toollib.dir}/commons-collections.jar:${servletlib.dir}/servlet.jar"
debug="on" />
It looks like tomcat ignores the compiled files, i.e. it doesn't load them
faster.
Seems like tomcat somehow recompiles them again, and for some reason it
creates more *.class files then when I compiled them with javac.
Anybody knows what does it mean ?
Thanks for the help
Cheers
Matt
