This is one of my pet peeves. It is true that you can precompile your JSPs and configure them as servlets and that is a reasonable approach in most circumstances. Having said that, if you have several hundred that you are dynamically updating during development the preference is to use JSPs as they were designed: update as-needed on a running server. The servlet approach is a bit of a hack (IMHO) when the container is perfectly capable of compiling the whole mess on its own with no intervention on your part. Where a compiled JSP goes and what its called is not part of the specification so it would be nice to have the container do that for you.
Here's a link to an ANT script that precompiles for Tomcat. Haven't tried it but at least it avoids the servlet approach and the script looks very simple. http://cvs.apache.org/~fhanik/precompile.html -----Original Message----- From: JD Brennan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 10:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [JBoss-user] Pre compile jsps on jboss server I think the Ant jspc target can generate a web XML fragment that Ant can then substitute into your web.xml automatically. Haven't tried this myself ... yet - just read about it.

My apologies if this question has been answered before.
