you couldn't use this one either? http://cvs.apache.org/~fhanik/precompile.html.
You can very easily translate my XML file into actual Java commands, hence it eliminates the need for ANT. It will take a little work. The neat thing with my script is that it requires no mapping in web.xml since it compiles into the tomcat work directory, where Jasper loads the classes from Filip ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Palmatier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 24, 2004 12:51 PM Subject: JSP Compiling - painted in a corner? Hello, I'm trying to precompile JSPs and have run into some trouble with the mappings. First off I CANNOT use the Ant build method as specified in "http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/printer/jasper-howto.html#Web%20Application%20Compilation"; due to a lack of certain UNIX commands on the machine I'm running on (An iSeries server running a QShell interpreter in case you're interested). I get complaints about the "which" command and I am sure other commands are missing as well. So, I am attempting to compile all the JSPs using jspc directly. The archives are full of references to this but most come down to RTFM, "Use this Ant script" or "compile to your working directory" all of which I've either already tried, can't use, and don't want to use in a released product. I've successfully created .class files, copied them to the classes directory and integrated the generated xml servlet mapping fragment into my web.xml. I received "requested resource not found" when I tried to access the first compiled page. I did some more research, noted that all my classes were part of the org.apache.jsp package and created an org/apache/jsp directory under my classes directory and copied all my classes over to it. I left the web.xml alone and restarted tomcat. I still ran into the "requested resource not found" error. I then tried modifying the web.xml servlet definitions and mappings to see if fully qualified class names were a problem. None of these attempts worked. So, my question is: If my class files are part of the org.apache.jsp package and exist in an org/apache/jsp directory rooted in my applications WEB-INF/classes directory shouldn't they be found if my web.xml defines the servlet and servlet mapping as below: <servlet> <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.entry_jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jsp.entry_jsp</servlet-class> </servlet> . . . <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.entry_jsp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/entry.jsp</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> I have a feeling the subdirectories my jsps exist in before they are compiled are the problem, as hinted at in a few archive posts, but am at a loss as to what to try next. Is there a way to get jspc to include these subdirectories in the package name? Does it even matter if they are? Any help or pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.
