Compiling JSP

[Tim Smith]

What class files are need to compile a JSP?

[Ashwin Desai]

Hi,
You need a servlet engine that does the compilation of the jsp page for you. The reference Sun JWSDK (now phased out) includes servlet.jar and xml.jar in the root dir that are used for compilation. Again, the user need not be bothered about compilation as this is done by the servlet engine when the JSP page is referenced by the webserver.

As mentioned in the earlier post do not use the obselete JWSDK. Instead use Tomcat. And with regards to what classes are required to compile the jsp, Tomcat which has the jsp engine does this job for you. You just need to place the .jsp file in the *required* directory.

on a practical note, I put my .jsp in the same folder as the .html files that Tomcat serves up. I use Apache/Tomcat.
