I don't believe that this is correct. If you use JSPC with the
right arguments it will produce a web.xml file fragment that includes the
servlet mappings and will produce standard .java files that you will need to
compile to .class files.
The only reason that you would have an incompability is if the other
container didn't implement the spec correctly (which you would have if you
moved the JSPs anyways).
