Re: dynamically compile JSPs
So it looks like I need to send in classpath and destination directory configuration stuff to the JspC task (using setClassPath and setOutputDir on antTask I think) Where do I get the proper information from though? (The proper information to me means the same classpath and output directory that tomcats jasper servlet uses) Is there a way to read the jasper servlets configuration variables in my serlvet? Of can I figure it out from the JspC(and related) source code? I haven't seen anything helpful there yet. Hey all - replying to myself yet again. I got this working now, it parses and compiles the JSP file to the proper directory under TOMCAT_HOME/work/ Now - I have another problem - there are 2 types of files that I do this with. They both wind up being Struts/Tiles layout files, just in different directories basically. When I upload/compile to one of the directories, it works perfectly for me - the JSP file is parsed and compiled, and when I view the pages the changes are properly reflected. In the other directory, it parses/compiles the uploaded JSP page, but for some reason Tomcat never displays the updated JSP page until I restart the server. There is nothing special about this directory that I know of, it is just the parent directory of the one that is actually working. Any idea how to fix that little problem? I was looking through the JspC code, and it looks like it reloads the JSP Servlet after a compile is done -but I'm not sure that would fix my problem (and as far as I know, there is no way to set JSPServletWrapper.reload to true from my serlvet.) Any ideas on this last problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: dynamically compile JSPs
I was messing around with the code a little bit, and tried this:
JspC antTask = new JspC();
antTask.setArgs(new String[] { -compile, uploadTileFilePath });
antTask.execute();
but this always gave me an error that javax.servlet package could not be
found.
Replying to myself here - but I got a bit further with this and need
more support if anybody has any ideas.
I thought at first that this code would parse/compile the uploaded JSP
page using the same paths/classpath/etc. that the Jasper servlet setup
in web.xml uses.
It turns out I am wrong and it seems like it is using some sort of
default for the classpath and output directory.
The classpath just has the classes from the jars for my local site
(hence no tomcat jars and there error being seen above.
It is outputting the jsp file to a .java file under
TOMCAT_HOME\org\apache\jsp\WEB_INF\tiles\public_\file_jsp.java (and
presumably if I could get compilation to work it would compile to that
directory as well.)
So it looks like I need to send in classpath and destination directory
configuration stuff to the JspC task (using setClassPath and
setOutputDir on antTask I think)
Where do I get the proper information from though? (The proper
information to me means the same classpath and output directory that
tomcats jasper servlet uses) Is there a way to read the jasper servlets
configuration variables in my serlvet? Of can I figure it out from the
JspC(and related) source code? I haven't seen anything helpful there yet.

Matt

Usage of the JspC class. This should be what you want.
I work in Windows 95% of the time, and I'm a simplicity freak, so I tend do do
things, most of the time, with batch files called from UltraEdit. Anyway, this

compilation of all JSP's. I use this class to do that. I can give you the two
lines from my batch file that does this if it would be helpful, but I tend to
think the javadocs will get you where you want to go.
This is kind of an old thread I'm replying to - but I implemented what I
thought would work for this, and haven't been able to get anything
working reliably. As a refresher, the scenario is this:
- a Tomcat 5.0.x server with Jasper setup in development=false mode
- I upload a jsp page through a web interface, and want it to be
compiled/usable immediately, instead of waiting for the scheduled jasper
compilation
- putting ?jsp_compile=true on the page doesn't seem to work
- making development=true isn't an option
After looking through the JspC documentation a little bit, I tried this
code in my class after the JSP file is uploaded:
JspC antTask = new JspC();
antTask.setArgs(new String[] { uploadTileFilePath });
antTask.execute();
And this does not seem to compile the file reliably. It does seem like
something is happening, because the upload/compile action takes about
25-30 seconds longer to load when the jsp compilation code is included.
In my work directory, the .java and .class files are never updated (new
time stamp) right away.
Sometimes if I wait a bit (5-10 minutes) the files are updated properly,
but this seems to be the normal scheduled compilation.
Sometimes if I load the page up in a browser after it has been
uploaded/compiled, it seems to be compiled on access, but this does
not always happen.
I was messing around with the code a little bit, and tried this:
JspC antTask = new JspC();

antTask.execute();
and this seemed to make it (so far) that the JSP page always gets
compiled the next time it is loaded in a browser.
This is passable if it must be the solution, but what I would really
like is that the file gets completely compiled during the upload/compile
action. The reason for this is that I want the person uploading to have
to deal with the extra processing time, and not the person loading the page.
Any help with solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Re: dynamically compile JSPs
Hey, I remember this thread :)
(Mostly because you quoted my comment!)
One solution is to shell out to do the compilation. I think I
probably gave it to you last time, but here's the two pertinent lines
from my compile job that does it:
java -classpath %CP% org.apache.jasper.JspC -v3 -die -d %JSPAppDir%
-webapp %WebAppDir%
javac -classpath %CP% -d %JspDir% %JspDir%\*.java
...where...
%CP% is the classpath, inclduing servlet.jar
%JSRDir% is the location of the JSP
%WebAppDir% is something like c:\tomcat\webapps\myapp
(I modified this a tad so it's more applicable to you, but don't shoot
me if you have to hack it slightly)
Now, what I'm thinking, AND I BY NO MEANS ENDORSE THIS AS A GOOD
SOLUTION, is that you could shell out these two commands, and that I
think would get the job done. This is a has a Windows skew to it of
course, but I can't see any reason it wouldn't work under *nix, if
that's your environment, which just some minor changes.
I've never tried using JspC from Java code as you did, although I'd
think that's the way you'd want to go. I don't know what's wrong with
the code you provided however, but if you get to that hair-pulling stage
where you feel like your really stuck, I'm relatively sure the above
will do it for you, if worse comes to worse. I guess if this isn't
something that's going to be happening a lot, it might not be a problem
this way.

RE: dynamically compile JSPs
This might be a long way round but you could call a system ant job to compile them.
