I cant help you as I have found precompilation more trouble than it is worth, and no longer recommend it.

What I do now instead is use HttpUnit to fetch every single JSP page that I have in the app, after deploying it. That combines a functional test of the application with the building of the JSP pages in the app server that will host them.


And that's independent of the app server ;-)

Exactly. you build the jsps in advance and you have to have the jsp runtime in perfect sync with the precompiled code, or your prebuilt code crashes. So you have to know exactly the destination of the WAR, rebuild stuff whenever a new target comes out, suffer a lot if you have to target >1 server version, etc, etc. Whereas if you write httpunit tests you

-compile everything down
-know that the JARs load and run properly on the target system

If you werent going to write the httpunit tests in advance, you've gained something you need (functional tests), instead of investing time getting something very brittle to work occasionally. If you were going to write the httpunit tests already, then you have lost nothing.
