Where to put the Pre-compiled JSP files?

[gfzhang]

We use JBoss 3.0.8-Tomcat-4.1.24.

Our web application has a lot of JSP files. These JSP files will be included by one temple jsp file by JSP's include directive(The URL will determine which JSP file will be included).

We want to pre-compile the JSP files before deploy the application so that the users can access the pages faster.

I know that Tomcat Engine in JBoss place the compiled JSP file in work\MainEngine\localhost directory. If We also place our pre-compiled JSP files in that directory(we can make the structure of the directory the same as that Tomcat created), does this solution work?

Or someone could kindly tell us how to deploy the pre-compiled JSP files.

you will need to put them in your WAR, in WEB-INF/classes

don't forget to also include the jsp-servlet mapping in your web.xml

I explained this here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3435763&forum_id=28502

good luck

The process is simple, please read draftdog's post first, then you could use the example in
