Is this "javac from IBM" freely redistributable? I believe the "javac" that
comes with Sun's JDK is not. That is the main reason for substituting
javac with Jikes for many of us.
And, if you do not plan to redistribute your application, why not use
tools.jar?
Also, do you plan to post your solution in "how to - step by step" form
so that users who encounter the same problem on AIX would benefit?
Thanks,
Gautam

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
