Tomcat does have a java compiler (jasper) to compile jsp pages to

means putting driver jar files in tomcat's lib directory.

sorry, if i am looking into this matter too much , but i really want to
know more !!
i just read class loading in java. the jar files (all the ones needed by
the program) are loaded by the JVM (through bootstrap , extension and
system classloaders) just before running the program.
now, since tomcat uses the operating system installed JVM for running the
programs (as you said it has got only a java compiler of its own and not a
"personal" JVM), why isnt it(the operating system JVM) able to locate the
CLASSPATH for jsps as it would do for an ordinary program??
