Re: war deployment and jsp pre-compilation

First, let's assume, I do not pre-compile my JSPs and deploy the war with the manager app. Upon the first request, Tomcat will go about and compile the JSPs to the working directory.

This means that Tomcat would have to load the JSP classes directly from the war file instead of from its working directory. Can this be done? I hope the issue is clear now. Yes, again, pre-compled jsp file are servlets. They don't get compiled at runtime, again, because they are servlets. You now have to register and map them in the web.xml just like any other servlet. If by pre-compiling, you mean run some script which accesses each jsp file at runtime so that when a real human accesses them they will already be compiled, then you don't have to worry about the mapping. Actually, you should never have to worry about the work directory stuff. Tomcat will use a work directory whether or not an app is deployed from a .war file or directory. Which work directory is not of the app's concern, but of Tomcat's. You are going to have to explain exactly where you think this whole thing will fail when running from a .war file because it is still not clear to me. Jake Thanks for any insight.
