http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/misc.html#fullJdk Can I run tomcat with the JRE, or do I need the full JDK? Tomcat officially requires the full JDK, because it needs javac in order to compile JSPs. If you pre-compile all your JSPs, you can get away with running tomcat on a JRE only, but you do so at your own risk.
BTW: precompiling JSPS can be accomplished by ANT tasks but you will *probably* be better to include JDK for dynamic JSP precompilation My 2 pennies M-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail message (including attachments, if any) is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, proprietary , confidential and exempt from disclosure.
