Tomcat Jasper (Jspc) compilation - Excluding list of JSPs from Jasper Compilation

["M. Manna" <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

i am not sure if Jasper (JSPC) currently supports excluding  a list of JSP
files using typical <exclude> or <excludes> directive.

Jpsc is a directory based task so it does have pathname include/excudes but
i think those are classes and compile classpath options (for jars/libs
etc.). Could somepone please point me to the right direction?

All I want is to exclude certain JSP files when I am pre-compiling JSPs.
But I am good when I deploy on tomcat (no need to exclude anything).

I appreciate the help :)

Kindest Regards,
M. Manna

Hi Mark,

Thanks a lot for confirming this. I haven't looked at the source code yet,
but I guess if I just use a wild-carded entry for jspFiles e.g.

jspFiles="*.jsp,/pages/*.jsp"

it will probably not work, will it ?

Kindest Regards,

Hi,

There is a jspFiles attribute which is a comma separated list of all the
JSPs you want to compile (paths relative to the uriroot).

That is going to ugly if you have a lot of JSPs to compile and only a
few to exclude.

A hack would probably to rename the files you don't want to compile to
*.jsp_skip and then rename them back after the jspc task.

A proper fix would be to patch JspC to do 'proper' include / exclude
support. I've no idea how much work that would be or how much demand
there would be for it. Generally, when pre-compiling folks want to
pre-compile everything.
