Hi,
I did not mean Jikes because I already have a javac (which comes with the
JDK), and I don't want to compile Jikes from source for the AIX platform.
But your directions pointed me in the right way:
I wrote a class around the javac from IBM, basically it's a copy of
JikesJavaCompiler, but with some modified command line parameters. I added
this class to my WAR, and modified application/web-inf/web.xml and added
jspCompilerPlugin and jspCompilerPath. And that works fine.
So, basically thanks for your suggestions, but I did it a bit different.
(And at least easier for AIX....)
Rgrds,
Klaas
