Loading JSP

[Reshma Reddy]

Hi All,

I have one doubt regarding Servlet and JSP loading in container, If I will change any thing in java classes I have to rebuild the application after that only I can able to see changes, If I am working in JSP pages I will do any changes in JSP page I can able to see my changes with simple refresh.

underline jsp lifecycle also same as Servlet lifecycle,So what is actual difference for these cenario,Can any one explain me...

Most containers will recompile JSPs on the fly (with some fancy caching mechanisms). Servlets are not (and should not for performance reasons) be treated the same way.

Gregg,

as I know jsp also converted into class file, so what is the difference.

You've already outlined the differences. A change in a JSP will be detected and cause an automatic reload, while a change in a Java class will not.

That is an implementation detail. An author of JSPs does not need to know this.
