In the great migration to Tomcat 5, the Ant script proclaimed:
"this task doesn't support Tomcat 5.x properly, please use the Tomcat provided jspc task instead"
And there was much scurrying.
The Manager defined a new task, one for Tomcat 5.x using org.apache.jasper.JspC, for Tomcat 5 begat Jasper2. (Actually, it was earlier, but that's neither here nor there...)
The Manager was pleased that the task looked about the same, and he saw that it was good, and it was good.
Until he freaking tried to run it, and it didn't work.
Because it appears as if the task is attempting to generate AND compile from JSP to classes, which isn't what I want. I would really like for my Java source to be generated, so I can compile it along-side my regular source later.
When trying to compile, it's looking for dependencies in my code that is right beside it, but uncompiled. Maybe I'm a little off, and it needs those binary dependant classes for source generation, but my tingling geeky sense tells me otherwise.
What setting am I missing to do this?
Here is the setup:
<target name="jsp-to-java" depends="prepare">
<echoproperties>
</echoproperties>
<taskdef classname="org.apache.jasper.JspC" name="jasper2">
<classpath id="jspc.classpath">
<pathelement location="${java.home}/lib/tools.jar" />
<fileset dir="${catalina.home}/bin">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${catalina.home}/server/lib">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${catalina.home}/common/lib">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${catalina.home}/shared/lib">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</classpath>
</taskdef><jasper2 verbose="9"
package="p2p.ui.jsp"
validateXml="false" webxml="${build.web-inf.dir}/web.xml" uriroot="${build.web.dir}" webXmlFragment="${temp}/webinc.xml" outputDir="${build.java.source.dir}" />
</target>
And the "You suck, I can't find your dependant classes" error:
jsp-to-java:
[jasper2] log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler).
[jasper2] log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
[jasper2] Oct 15, 2004 3:07:39 PM org.apache.jasper.JspC processFile

[jasper2] Oct 15, 2004 3:07:39 PM org.apache.jasper.JspC processFile

I've started compiled my classes before the JSPs, then including that in the JspC path, but I'm just all flustered now that my previous build order has been changed, and expectations are all off. And I don't want to continue pouting.
Inform me, please.
