It doesn't matter what it's for - if it is valid JSP it should compile with jspc the same as with jspservlet :-). If it's not valid - it should be removed... >> > One thing should be clear - precompiled jsps should be included with >> > tomcat5 and we should strongly recommend ( and support ) this mode for >> > production sites.

For now we should just turn off > precompilation of the examples until the problem is identified and fixed. It's not a "requirement" for tomcat5 - people can use whatever they want. Our examples and the admin and all jsps we ship should be precompiled - it is a very bad example if the first time you load hello.jsp it takes 1 minute. If people add a jsp to the examples - it will be compiled by jspservet and will work as before. Jspc works fine - the generated code is exactly the same as with JspServlet. I used it with pretty complex apps ( with 4.1 ). The only problem that jspc may have is that a lot of the development on jasper is done using jspservlet, and far less testing is done on jspc - and if we start precompiling it'll be more likely the problems will be fixed. The difference is just in the calling environment. BTW, IMO it is also much better for the code stability - as changes are made to jasper, knowing that all admin and examples compile is a good test.
