I am a Tomcat newbie. We use Tomcat 5.5.23, *Nix and Windows. My recent experience was that in my development environment, if I had the application web.xml (as opposed to global web.xml under conf directory) with the mappings as specified below, then Tomcat refused to compile and was looking for precompiled classes. Then, I removed the mappings from the application web.xml, put ant.jar and tools.jar in $Catalina_HOME/commmon/lib and removed jasper-compiler-jdt.jar from the same place for Tomcat to compile the JSP files on the fly.
In the production environment, with the web.xml as defined below, and with precompiled classes placed in the proper location, Tomcat does not try to compile at all, as desired. So in summary, I did not do anything special to "disable" compilation but rather I had to do the steps outlined above to "enable" compilation. --Lakshmi -----Original Message----- From: lightbulb432 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 12:32 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: RE: Excluding JSP compiler from Tomcat In your production environment have you "disabled" or "excluded" the actual Tomcat piece that does the JSP compilation, to decrease the size and memory usage (no matter how small) of the production Tomcat install? The part of the JSP spec that I referred to in my original post seemed to indicate that it might be possible depending on your container. As Tomcat is the RI, I'm wondering whether this capability is available.
