Thanks, Karr! I am using Tomcat. I find the jspc.bat in TOMCAT_HOME/bin directory. Couple more questions,
1) after I pre-compile the jsp files, should I put them in the TOMCAT_HOME/work/ directory or in the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/classes/ directory. 2) should I put the package declaration in the jsp files?
