I gave this a try and got:
[jasperc] org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unrecognized option: -v9. Use -help for help.
I think this may be because I am using Tomcat 5 and the jasper compiler is different. I tried "japser", "jasper41", "jasper5" and "jasper50" for the compiler option but it only recognised the first two, and they both gave me the -v9 exception (related to the verbosity attribute).
The manual page for the jspc task,
http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/jspc.html
seems very old and seems to have been written in March 2003. It also has warnings everywhere that this should just be used for validation and not for pre-compiling. It doesn't look like it has been updated for Tomcat 5 comptatibility.
why do you need to define your own pre-compile task may i ask?
I read the manual ;-) http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jasper-howto.html
Am I messing up somewhere here? And is there anyway to get the jasper shipped with Tomcat 5 to display errors when used for pre-compiling?
Cheers,
simon
