jboss-web.xml

[subash_rath]

Are there any elements defined for jboss-web.xml deployment descriptor which identifies or corresponds to <jsp-descriptor> in weblogic.xml for weblogic8.1

[norman.richards]

You'll have to be more specific which elements of the jsp-descriptor you need. I don't think all of them have equivalents. (but on the bright side very few of them actually provide real value) I suggest poking around in the Tomcat forum for questions on a specific piece of functionality.

[subash_rath]

As we specify in weblogic.xml the following element

<jsp-descriptor>
<jsp-param>
<param-name>compileCommand</param-name>
<param-value>javac</param-value>
</jsp-param>
<jsp-param>
<param-name>verbose</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</jsp-param>

</jsp-descriptor> when JSP's are used, how doe we map to thes in JBOSS. In which XML we need to map these corresponding to which elemnts inside it.

Tomcat uses a default web.xml in which it defines a servlet used for JSP compilation. The default web.xml is found in JBoss at /server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat5x.sar/conf

The following servlet definition applies to the compiler used for JSP

<!-- The JSP page compiler and execution servlet, which is the mechanism -->
 <!-- used by Tomcat to support JSP pages. Traditionally, this servlet -->
 <!-- is mapped to the URL pattern "*.jsp". This servlet supports the -->
 <!-- following initialization parameters (default values are in square -->
 <!-- brackets): -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- checkInterval If development is false and checkInterval is -->
 <!-- greater than zero, background compilations are -->
 <!-- enabled. checkInterval is the time in seconds -->
 <!-- between checks to see if a JSP page needs to -->
 <!-- be recompiled. [0] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- modificationTestInterval -->
 <!-- Causes a JSP (and its dependent files) to not -->
 <!-- be checked for modification during the -->
 <!-- specified time interval (in seconds) from the -->
 <!-- last time the JSP was checked for -->
 <!-- modification. A value of 0 will cause the JSP -->
 <!-- to be checked on every access. -->
 <!-- Used in development mode only. [4] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- compiler Which compiler Ant should use to compile JSP -->
 <!-- pages. See the Ant documentation for more -->
 <!-- information. [javac] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- classdebuginfo Should the class file be compiled with -->
 <!-- debugging information? [true] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- classpath What class path should I use while compiling -->
 <!-- generated servlets? [Created dynamically -->
 <!-- based on the current web application] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- development Is Jasper used in development mode? If true, -->
 <!-- the frequency at which JSPs are checked for -->
 <!-- modification may be specified via the -->
 <!-- modificationTestInterval parameter. [true] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- enablePooling Determines whether tag handler pooling is -->
 <!-- enabled [true] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- fork Tell Ant to fork compiles of JSP pages so that -->
 <!-- a separate JVM is used for JSP page compiles -->
 <!-- from the one Tomcat is running in. [true] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- ieClassId The class-id value to be sent to Internet -->
 <!-- Explorer when using <jsp:plugin> tags. -->
 <!-- [clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- javaEncoding Java file encoding to use for generating java -->
 <!-- source files. [UTF8] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- keepgenerated Should we keep the generated Java source code -->
 <!-- for each page instead of deleting it? [true] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- mappedfile Should we generate static content with one -->
 <!-- print statement per input line, to ease -->
 <!-- debugging? [true] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- trimSpaces Should white spaces in template text between -->
 <!-- actions or directives be trimmed? [false] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- suppressSmap Should the generation of SMAP info for JSR45 -->
 <!-- debugging be suppressed? [false] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- dumpSmap Should the SMAP info for JSR45 debugging be -->
 <!-- dumped to a file? [false] -->
 <!-- False if suppressSmap is true -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- genStrAsCharArray Should text strings be generated as char -->
 <!-- arrays, to improve performance in some cases? -->
 <!-- [false] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- errorOnUseBeanInvalidClassAttribute -->
 <!-- Should Jasper issue an error when the value of -->
 <!-- the class attribute in an useBean action is -->
 <!-- not a valid bean class? [true] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- scratchdir What scratch directory should we use when -->
 <!-- compiling JSP pages? [default work directory -->
 <!-- for the current web application] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- xpoweredBy Determines whether X-Powered-By response -->
 <!-- header is added by generated servlet [false] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- If you wish to use Jikes to compile JSP pages: -->
 <!-- Set the init parameter "compiler" to "jikes". Define -->
 <!-- the property "-Dbuild.compiler.emacs=true" when starting Tomcat -->
 <!-- by adding the above to your CATALINA_OPTS environment variable. -->
 <!-- If you get an error reporting that jikes can't use UTF8 encoding, -->
 <!-- try setting the init parameter "javaEncoding" to "ISO-8859-1". -->
