								<p>Tomcat 6.0 uses the Jasper 2 JSP Engine to implement
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/">JavaServer Pages 2.0</a>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								specification.</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>Jasper 2 has been redesigned to significantly improve performance over
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the orignal Jasper.  In addition to general code improvements the following
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								changes were made:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li><strong>JSP Custom Tag Pooling</strong> - 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.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li><strong>Background JSP compilation</strong> - 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.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li><strong>Recompile JSP when included page changes</strong> - Jasper 2
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								can now detect when a page included at compile time from a JSP has changed
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and then recompile the parent JSP.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li><strong>JDT used to compile JSP pages</strong> - The
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Eclipse JDT Java compiler is now used to perform JSP java source code
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								compilation. This compiler loads source dependencies from the container
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								classloader. Ant and javac can still be used.</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								</ul>

							 |

|

								 | 
							
								application.</li>

								<p>The Java compiler from Eclipse JDT in included as the default compiler. It is an
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								advanced Java compiler which will load all dependencies from the Tomcat class loader, 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								which will help tremendously when compiling on large installations with tens of JARs.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								On fast servers, this will allow sub-second recompilation cycles for even large JSP 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								pages.</p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>Apache Ant, which was used in previous Tomcat releases, can be used instead instead of 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the new compiler by simply removing the <code>lib/jasper-jdt.jar</code> file, 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and placing the <code>ant.jar</code> file from the latest Ant distribution in the 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>lib</code> folder.  If you do this, you also need to use the "javac"
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								argument to catalina.sh.</p>

								Then, the declarations and mappings for the servlets which were generated 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								during the precompilation must be added to the web application deployment
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								descriptor. Insert the <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/generated_web.xml</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								at the right place inside the <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Restart the web application (using the manager) and test it to verify it is 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								running fine with precompiled servlets. An appropriate token placed in the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								web application deployment descriptor may also be used to automatically
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								insert the generated servlet declarations and mappings using Ant filtering 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								capabilities. This is actually how all the webapps distributed with Tomcat 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								are automatically compiled as part of the build process.

							 |

							 |

								At the jasper2 task you can use the option <code>addWebXmlMappings</code> for 
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								automatic merge the <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/generated_web.xml</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								with the current web application deployment descriptor at <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								When you want to use Java 5 feature inside your jsp's, add the following javac compiler task
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								attributes: <code>source="1.5" target="1.5"</code>. For live application
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								you can also compile with <code>optimize="on"</code> and without debug info
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>debug="off"</code>.
							 |

| 
								 |

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<p>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								When you don't want to stop the jsp generation at first jsp syntax error, use   
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<code>failOnError="false"</code>and with <code>showSuccess="true"</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								all successfull <i>jsp to java</i> generation are printed out. Sometimes it is
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								very helpfull, when you cleanup the generate java source files at <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/src</code>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and the compile jsp servlet classes at <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/jsp</code>.

								<p><strong>Hints:</strong>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<ul>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li> When you switch to another tomcat release, then regenerate and recompile
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								your jsp's with this version again!</li>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<li>Use java system property at server runtime to disable tag pooling <code>org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspFactoryImpl.USE_POOL=false</code>.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								and limit the buffering with <code>org.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl.LIMIT_BUFFER=true</code>. Note that changing
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								from the defaults may affect performance, but depending on the application.</li>

								<li>From your <a href="ant.apache.org">Ant</a> installation, copy ant.jar

								Tomcat by adding it to your <code>CATALINA_OPTS</code> environment variable.
