Tomcat does have a java compiler (jasper) to compile jsp pages to
servlets, but it also needs a JVM (java). Setting CLASSPATH is a big
no-no. Put any required jars your webapp might need in the proper
place. If you use tomcat's internal pooling for db connections, that
means putting driver jar files in tomcat's lib directory.

hi, i am pretty new to tomcat. currently i have tomcat6 on ubuntu-linux.
i have pursued some books on tomcat , but they cant help me getting
some concepts, they simply point to "using tomcat"
here is one of my doubts i got during database connection..
does tomcat have its own java compiler ?
PROOF THAT TC HAS A SEPERATE JAVA COMPILER
when i normally connect my simple jdbc program (not a web
application), i have to set the CLASSPATH variable for locating the
connector/J jar file.
but when i am running a jsp in my web-app, which uses jdbc, CLASSPATH
doesnt help..i have to explicitly place the library in the web-app's
lib or the common/lib.
PROOF THAT TC DOES NOT HAVE A SEPERATE JAVA COMPILER -
while installing tomcat, java was demanded as a prerequisite
...meaning to say that tomcat depends on an external java compiler
i hope i am not asking a "dummys" question,as i am new to java too !!
but i will be happy if you people can answer me and/or point me to a
nice tutorial to know "how tomcat works" rather than "how to work on
tomcat".
thanks all !!
