org.apache.jasper.JspC has no command switch to disable tag pooling

           Summary: org.apache.jasper.JspC has no command switch to disable
                    tag pooling
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.27
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper 2
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sean@yunt.net


Our development team recently upgraded from tomcat 4.0.6 to 4.1.27 which has 
tag pooling enabled by default.  We all agree tag pooling is a good thing, 
however we had several jsps which would break when tag pooling is enabled.  
We've solved the problem by disabled tag pooling under 
$CATALINA_HOME/config/web.xml.  Our longer term plan is to fix all our jsps, 
but in the meantime we have to work around this.

Unfortunately we had been using the "jspc" Ant task to precompile our .jsp 
files to improve initial access time in production environments.  I've read all 
the warnings and understand the reasoning against this, but our traffic is just 
too high to avoid it.  As a result of using the JspC command to 
precompile .jsps, I've found there is no way to disable tag pooling from a 
command line argument.  

in the JspC.java class there's even a public method:

public boolean isPoolingEnabled() {
    return true;
}

Is that just a to-do item, or is there some significant reason that can't be 
set by a main() argument?

If this is just something that's yet to be done, I'll happily make the change 
myself.  In any case, jasper's getting a lot of testing in our shop.

Thanks.
