 Hi all,

 We have a need for a global way to have Jasper compile the
 JSP servlet source with debug information.  I would propose
 defining a system property such as:

 jasper.compile.debug

 which if set to "true" would turn on the inclusion of debug
 info.  Any objections or alternative property names?


Wouldn't you really want this option at the per-web-app level, rather than
global?  While we were at it, you'd want similar options for turning
optimization on and off, or (more generally) a way to set compiler options for a
generic compiler.

The main need at SAS is for a way to within our IDE to globally
turn on debug info for all webapps, though being able to set
it per-web-app is desirable to.  My detailed knowledge of Tomcat
and Jasper is not widespread yet, so I hadn't looked for a
good way to implement the per-web-app option.

A "jasper.compile.optimized" would be useful too. Or, running with
your suggestion of a more general way, perhaps a string property,
such as "jasper.compile.options" which contains "d" for debug info,
and "o" for optimize. Others?
