JBoss2.4.3-Tomcat3.2.3 jasper compiler choice / get tomcat t

[dmjohns]

I'm trying to get jasper to use IBM's JIKES compiler. I've uncommented the lines in the tomcat/conf/web.xml that are supposed to do this, but as far as I can tell, tomcat never reads this web.xml (i.e. I deleted the file and everything still runs the same as when it was there).


How do I get this configuration to use jikes?

How do I get this configuration to read the web.xml file out of tomcat/conf/web.xml?

I'm using the JBoss 2.4.3 and Tomcat 3.2.3 bundle on Windows NT and Linux.

Here are the lines I uncommented:

<init-param>
<param-name>jspCompilerPlugin</param-name>
<param-value>org.apache.jasper.compiler.JikesJavaCompiler</param-value>
</init-param>


Thanks!

Hi Dan,
I am trying to figure out the same thing. Do you find out how to use jikes to be your jsp compiler? I uncommented the lines in tomcat/conf/web.xml to use jikes compiler but it doesn.t work.

Any help will be appreciated.

U have to make changes to the tomcat sources ...org.apache.tomcat.context.WebXmlReader.java....it sets the default properties......

change the method contextInit(Context ctx) to make it to read the web.xml from the conf dir.

u just have to uncomment the line where there is a call to the method readDefaultWebXml( ctx );. This should do it.
