> Hi, > > It is not very convinient or easy to insert the declarations for > compiled JSPs into the webapp's web.xml file. It also has the > disadvantage of adding a lot of mess in the web.xml, which the user may > not like. > > For that reason, I propose that Tomcat parses a new (optional) XML file, > with the same DTD as web.xml, which would contain declarations identical > to web.xml, and which would be used for declaring the compiled JSPs. I > propose naming that file compiledjsp.xml. I think that parsing two web.xml files is plenty. There is no reason to add a third. Also, since it is possible to use Jasper with other containers, adding a non-standard feature like this makes that harder to do. > > An additional advantage is that it would allow Tomcat to precompile > webapps as they are deployed (otherwise, nasty XML manipulation is > needed to do that, and I think overwriting the originial web.xml during > deployment is bad). I agree with Costin here. It should be easy enough to read web.xml as DOM and save the changes. > > Maybe someone has a better solution for this problem.
