How hard would it be to customize Jasper to allow loading JSPs from outside the webapp?

[mraible <ma...@raibledesigns.com>]

I'm working on a project where my company has a custom JSP compiler that
they've written and maintained for the last 5 years. It works extremely well
for them and has some unique features - like being able to load JSPs from
remote locations using Spring's Resources API. In other words, they can load
a JSP from a JAR on a remote server and compile it locally. It's pretty
slick.

There's an interest in moving to a more standard JSP compiler. However, this
feature seems to be a must-have. How hard would it be to customize Tomcat's
JSP compiler to allow loading JSPs from outside the webapp? I'm interested
in doing the work - just want to know how difficult it might be (and where
to start).

Thanks,

Matt
