Hi Budi, and Paul,

Greetings to you people. I already have a question in store for you, in this Forum, I don't know you had a look at it. My sound silly, but that was a question i wanted to ask you people.
Tha's Here

Well...now to add to that, i would like to know whether Webapp class Loader is by any means analogous to the Java Class Loader.

And also would like to explore a bit into the mechanism of generating a Servlet from the JSP. Like which all to place inside the _jspService, etc.

Thanks in advance.....

Cheers,
Swamy

JSP Overview Part 1

JSP Overview Part 2



This will help you understand in process of translate JSP to Servlet.

And more detail ::

Tomcat use Jasper (JSP Engine) to compile/check JSP follow to JSP Specification.

I'm reference to Tomcat 5.0 Document from
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jasper-howto.html

Tomcat 5.0 uses the Jasper 2 JSP Engine to implement the JavaServer Pages 2.0 specification.

Jasper 2 has been redesigned to significantly improve performance over the orignal Jasper. In addition to general code improvements the following changes were made:

JSP Custom Tag Pooling - The java objects instantiated for JSP Custom Tags can now be pooled and reused. This significantly boosts the performance of JSP pages which use custom tags.
Background JSP compilation - If you make a change to a JSP page which had already been compiled Jasper 2 can recompile that page in the background. The previously compiled JSP page will still be available to serve requests. Once the new page has been compiled successfully it will replace the old page. This helps improve availablity of your JSP pages on a production server.
Recompile JSP when included page changes - Jasper 2 can now detect when a page included at compile time from a JSP has changed and then recompile the parent JSP.
Ant used to compile JSP pages - The Ant Build Tool is now used to perform JSP java source code compilation.

Jasper is implemented using the servlet class org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.

The WebappClassLoader does more than simply loading Java classes. For example, it has a background thread (in Tomcat 4) and uses the common background thread (Tomcat 5) to support automatic application reload, i.e. if the web.xml or any .jar file has changed.

Hi Budi,

That's what i was looking for...The automatic reloading of Applications.

Well....Does Tomcat support automatic reloading, when my servlet is changed, like the Class file is modified.

Sometime i get the message - "Webapp class loader modified" but this version of mine doesn't do that and requires a start. Shud i make any configurational change to accomplish this. And about the name, any significant reason?

Thanks in Advance..

Cheers,
Swamy
