There is no need to turn jspf into classes. The jspf are included by real jsp
files. Those jsp files are turned into the class files.

Tim,
Is there no way of turning the fragment (jspf) file into .class files or
do they need to remain as JSPs?
Cheers,
Richard.

From the jasper task all the [valid] jsp's are turned into java files
and
compiled into class files. Those class files need to be a jar file in
WEB-INF/lib or inside WEB-INF/classes. The jasper task can also rewrite
web.xml so that all the mappings from the JSP --> class file are taken
care of.
Once all the jsp's are compiled and mapped in web.xml. They can be
deleted
from the deployment war file (or dir).

Hi Tim,
Yeah, that's my exact issue, except the pages somewhat more
complicated
than your example. ;o)
I've tried renaming one of them to jspf and, unsurprisingly, it has
been
ignored by the JSP compiler. I'll have to take your word that it would
still work in the parent (once the reference had been changed to point
to jspf, not jsp) as I don't have a test bed up and running at the
moment.
Okay, so we've ascertained how to avoid the 'fragments' being compiled
because they're effectively not valid JSP pages because they use beans
that are never declared within themselves. The 'parent' page will
compile because it has all it needs to be compiled but the fragment
cannot be compiled without the presence of the parent. Does this mean
that I can only include the 'parent' JSPs in my JAR file and included
in
my web.xml? Do I have to keep the fragments as raw JSPs in my webapp,
then? I'd really rather get them all together in a JAR, if possible,
which is why I'm on this voyage of discovery! :o)
