Pre-Compiling

[Mark Aufdencamp <ma...@aufdencamp.com>]

Hi All,

It's been a while since I posted to the list.  I've been working with
Geronimo 1.1 on an application for the last year.  It's finally grown
large enough that I'd like to pre-compile my JSP's and Struts Action
Servlets prior to deploying them. How does one accomplish this?  I
googled and didn't find anything real definitive.  I'd prefer utilizing
Ant over Maven, as it already exists in my development environment.

Also, I've attempted an initial deployment of my EAR to Geronimo 2, but
it didn't like my deployment descriptor.  I'm guessing I just need to
change the xmlns:sys from deployment-1.1 to deployment-2.0, but would
like to confirm that.  Any info on porting from 1.1 to 2 is welcome.

TIA

Hi Mark,

I don't know anything about pre-compiling, but I can tell you that the
appropriate deployment descriptor is deployment-1.2

We (Geronimo) use the maven Jspc plugin -- http://mojo.codehaus.org/jspc-maven-plugin/ 
  -- in our build (check our pom.xml for more details).

For ant-based compilation, suggest you use Tomcat 6 precompilation  
support. Look for 'Web App Compilation' in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jasper-howto.html

Looks like Jason answered your other question.

Hi Mark,

I think pre-compilation of your JSPs is a function of which JSP engine 
you run and your build environment.

One useful link for Tomcat is given here which shows you how to do it 
with Ant:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jasper-howto.html
