I'm no expert on this, but I'm almost certain that a JSP file that is successfully translated to a Java file does not necessarily compile successfully. I think that's because there are two types of errors in JSP pages: 1. JSP syntax errors, like a malformed <%@ page...> tag 2. Java syntax errors, like "fro(i=0;..." While Tomcat's jspc (and probably all JSP compilers) checks for type 1 errors, I believe it doesn't check for type 2 errors. These show up when the Java file is compiled using javac. (I'm not sure but I think jspc can automatically call javac.) Therefore, to achieve what you want, you'd have to actually compile the JSP page all the way to a class file.
