precompiling JSPs -- how to resolve references normally resolved by
apache?
Hi,
I am trying to get our JSPs to be precompiled as part of
our ant build process to catch all syntax errors at compile
time.
The problem I have run into is that we are using apache +
tomcat and we have set the following rules in apache httpd.
conf:
JkMount /servlets/* ajp13
JkMount /jsp/* ajp13
JkMount /controller/* cont
JkMount /cgi-bin/java-rmi.cgi ajp13
Inside some of our servlets and JSPs, they refer to other
jsps using the absolute URL "/jsp/" which works in deployed
environment because apache redirects it. For example, in
one JSP we have <%@ include file="/jsp/Header.jsp" %>
I setup the tomcat-4.1.30 ant jspc task and it was giving a
NPE. Then I tried the Ant Jspc optional task, and it gave
me an error message:
the file '\Status.jsp' generated the following general
exceptionn: org.apache.jasper.JasperExeption:
/Status.jsp(3,0) File "/jsp/Header.jsp" not found
Is there any quick and dirty way to get the JspC to resolve
the "/jsp/*.jsp" urls to "*.jsp" or is there no way?
My alternative is to try to change all the "/jsp/*.jsp"
references to "*.jsp" everywhere we do an <%@ include %> or
<jsp:include/> or <jsp:forward/>. I think that would be ok
since those directices are handled on the tomcat side. Changing
it would be kind of messy since we have a ton of JSPs in a
large directory hierarchy, so some of those "/jsp/Header.jsp"
references would have to be changed to "../../Header.jsp", etc.
I know I can't get away from the "/jsp" mapping completely
because we have URLs and HTTP redirects which depend on it.
Here is the quick and dirty jspc ant target I created:
<jspc
srcdir="${TOP}/web/html/jsp"
uribase="${TOP}/web/html/jsp"
uriroot="${TOP}/web/html/jsp"
destdir="${TMP_DIR}/WEB-INF/src"
compiler="jasper41"
verbose="9">
<include name="*.jsp"/>
<classpath>
<!--todo: including all the tomcat jars, overkill i
know...-->
<fileset dir="C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
4.1\bin">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
4.1\common\endorsed">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
4.1\common\lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
4.1\shared\lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat
4.1\server\lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<!-- project classes and external 3rd party jar files
-->
<pathelement path="${CLASS_DIR}"/>
<filelist refid="active.external.jar.filelist"/>
</classpath>
</jspc>
Thanks for any advice,
-Alex

Jon,
Thanks for your help. The uribase and uriroot were not set correctly.
Here is the final version that I got working. I had one additional twist
that
I needed to copy the JSP files to another location first using the ant
<copy>
task.
I set uriroot to the webapps root {dir}/html, and then jasper2
automatically
found the JSP files in the subdirectories under jsp/** and correctly
resolved
the references "/jsp/**.jsp" inside the JSP files.
Once it works, it's great. But it several hours of frustration because
tomcat4.x jasper often just print NullPointerExceptions instead of an
error message. So you have to guess what is wrong.

Unless you have a directory ${TOP}/web/html/jsp/jsp your uribase/uriroot
probably aren't right.
