Deploying / Update Web Applications without deploying JSP files

Dear sirs,
I have to deploy a Tomcat app that has several
thousands of JSP files (using Struts of course). It's
an application that will be deployed as a client
application with a browser interface. The customer
don't want me to release the JSP files due to security
reasons. (In fact, the customer asked us if we could
encrypt the .class files as well).
I know that if I precompile the JSP files and change
the "web.xml" file to include one tag <servlet>
<servlet-name><servlet-class></servlet> for each JSP
file I could do it, but I have a problem: the web.xml
file became very, very large, and I can't update it
each time I need to update the application (my team
wrote an application updater that downloads only the
changed class files, but the updater program can't do
file editing). 
Is there any way to update a web application without
having to update the web.xml file?
Thank you for your attention.

Dear sirs,
I have to deploy a Tomcat app that has several
thousands of JSP files (using Struts of course).
The application will be run in Tomcat 5.0.28 under
J2SDK 1.4.2_07.
It's an application that will be deployed as a client
application with a browser interface. The customer
don't want me to release the JSP files due to
security reasons. (In fact, the customer asked us if
we could encrypt the .class files as well).

the "web.xml" file to include one tag <servlet>
<servlet-name><servlet-class></servlet> for each JSP
file I could do it, but I have a problem: the
web.xml file became very, very large, and I can't
update it each time I need to update the application
(my team wrote an application updater that downloads

can't do file editing).

having to update the web.xml file?
