Andoni, Justin Ruthenbeck helped me with this situation. Direct your browser to: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jasper-howto.html and look at "Web Application Compilation". See if that helps you.

I should probably go learn ANT or some other build technique but for now I want to do this the command line way. I'm not even sure if ANT will do what I want. I want to have my .jsp files made into .java files (easy) then compiled into .class files (hard) before starting my Tomcat. That way I can see any syntax errors in my .jsp files. If I do this at the moment I get a load of errors where one JSP which is included in another uses variables which are only declared in the major one. Is there a way to compile the .java files the way Tomcat does (which takes account of included .jsp's)? Does ANT create .class files? Thanks in advance.
