>From our perspective it's not the incremental builds but rather the high frequency releases that come from continuous integration. That requires frequent deployment of the whole enchilada for each client since we have client-specific packages in addition to the core product.

If you are doing incremental builds into an unpacked war you can specify for each application where to put the class files. Jasper respects the web-app's temp directory property. As long as the class files have timestamps after the jsp files they don't need to be recompiled. It doesn't solve the problem for jsps that have changed. For jetty, this is done with a WEB-INF/jetty-web.xml I don't know the equivalent for Tomcat. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE Configure PUBLIC "-//Mort Bay Consulting//DTD Configure 1.1//EN" "http://jetty.mortbay.org/configure_1_2.dtd"> <Configure class="org.jboss.jetty.JBossWebApplicationContext"> <Call name="setTempDirectory"> <Arg> <New class="java.io.File">/somedir/appname</New> </Arg> </Call> </Configure> Regards, Adrian On Thu, 2003-08-07 at 10:03, Eric Jain wrote: > +1 > > Not being able to have JSPs compiled at deploy time is currently a big > issue for me as well. > > Precompiling outside of the server doesn't work for us, as we have all > requests mapped to a default servlet. > > Retrieving every page after the application is deployed doesn't work > either, as we do not allow direct access to JSPs. > > What I have to do in the end is to run the complete suite of HTTPUnit > tests every time I deploy the application, quite a waste of time and > resources.
