Distributing JSP as Servlets

["Hubbard, Charles (ISSAtlanta)" <CH...@iss.net>]

Hello,

I'm developing using JSP, but when I distribute the software is there a away
I can only distribute the generated servlet and not the JSP?  How does that
impact my references to other JSP pages?

thanks
charlie

JSP 1.1 spec has a section  on this. It essentially says  that you can package
a JSP generated servlet into a WAR file for distribution.

In IBM's implementation (WebSphere), the JSP generated servlet gets the
static HTML from the JSP by opening the JSP and reading it in to a
buffer.  In other words, you still needs the JSPs around even though
they are compiled - so this definately would not work there.
