The problem is that JSPs are not compiled until they are accessed for the first time. This means that your application will feel sluggish until all popular pages have been hit at least once. Pre-compiling JSPs simply avoids this compile-on-demand step (but, of course, increases deployment time due to the time to pre-compile -- but if deployed correctly, Tomcat's downtime is minimized). > Assuming that you would deploy by copying files, copying one war file for me > is simpler then copying a directory or larger collection of files. If you use a tool like ant, or even a shell script (as you already do), then you don't really have to worry about the complexity of the deployment process: you just type "do it" and it gets done. Yes, it's more complicated to work-out at first, but you may see a performance improvement because of it. I'm never a fan of premature optimization, though. If you're not having any problems, don't change anything. Just keep this in mind for the future, just in case you need it. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGuH4S9CaO5/Lv0PARAjtVAJ9IrNMPztso0i+wDs7S8zPm8ipnhgCbB07f fZ+7dQwOkiYf1/aVRRqrmB4= =sX9b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
