Yes. Along with the source Java code for the pages, JspC generates
mappings like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dir.pageName</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>dir.pageName</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dir.pageName</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/dir/pageName.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
With these mappings, the servlet class is invoked directly, without
going through Jasper (the JSP container), and without looking for
a JSP file. You deploy only the compiled classes (ideally packaged
in a JAR file). If you deploy to a different container than Tomcat,
you also need to include the runtime classes the precompiled pages
depend on: TOMACTA_HOME/lib/jasper-runtime.jar.
Since this is off-topic for this list, I suggest that you read the
JspC docs, play with it, and if you have more questions, post them
to the Tomcat User list instead.
