| <p>Tomcat 6.0 uses the Jasper 2 JSP Engine to implement | |
| the <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/Specifications">JavaServer Pages 2.1</a> | |
| specification.</p> | |
| <p>Jasper 2 has been redesigned to significantly improve performance over | |
| the original Jasper. In addition to general code improvements the following | |
| changes were made: | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>JSP Custom Tag Pooling</strong> - The java objects instantiated | |
| for JSP Custom Tags can now be pooled and reused. This significantly boosts | |
| the performance of JSP pages which use custom tags.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Background JSP compilation</strong> - If you make a change to | |
| a JSP page which had already been compiled Jasper 2 can recompile that | |
| page in the background. The previously compiled JSP page will still be | |
| available to serve requests. Once the new page has been compiled | |
| successfully it will replace the old page. This helps improve availability | |
| of your JSP pages on a production server.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Recompile JSP when included page changes</strong> - Jasper 2 | |
| can now detect when a page included at compile time from a JSP has changed | |
| and then recompile the parent JSP.</li> | |
| <li><strong>JDT used to compile JSP pages</strong> - The | |
| Eclipse JDT Java compiler is now used to perform JSP java source code | |
| compilation. This compiler loads source dependencies from the container | |
| classloader. Ant and javac can still be used.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </p> | |
| <p>Jasper is implemented using the servlet class | |
| <code>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</code>.</p> | |

| <p>By default Jasper is configured for use when doing web application | |
| development. See the section <a href="#Production Configuration"> | |
| Production Configuration</a> for information on configuring Jasper | |
| for use on a production Tomcat server.</p> | |
| <p>The servlet which implements Jasper is configured using init parameters | |
| in your global <code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml</code>. | |
| <ul> | |
| <li><strong>checkInterval</strong> - If development is false and checkInterval | |
| is greater than zero, background compiles are enabled. checkInterval is the time | |
| in seconds between checks to see if a JSP page (and its dependent files) needs | |
| to be recompiled. Default <code>0</code> seconds.</li> | |
| <li><strong>classdebuginfo</strong> - Should the class file be compiled with | |
| debugging information? <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, default | |
| <code>true</code>. | |
| </li> | |
| <li><strong>classpath</strong> - Defines the class path to be used to compile | |
| the generated servlets. This parameter only has an effect if the ServletContext | |
| attribute org.apache.jasper.Constants.SERVLET_CLASSPATH is not set. This | |
| attribute is always set when Jasper is used within Tomcat. By default the | |
| classpath is created dynamically based on the current web application.</li> | |
| <li><strong>compiler</strong> - Which compiler Ant should use to compile JSP | |
| pages. See the Ant documentation for more information. If the value is not set, | |
| then the default Eclipse JDT Java compiler will be used instead of using Ant. | |
| No default value.</li> | |
| <li><strong>compilerSourceVM</strong> - What JDK version are the source files | |
| compatible with? (Default value: <code>1.5</code>)</li> | |
| <li><strong>compilerTargetVM</strong> - What JDK version are the generated files | |
| compatible with? (Default value: <code>1.5</code>)</li> | |
| <li><strong>development</strong> - Is Jasper used in development mode? If true, | |
| the frequency at which JSPs are checked for modification may be specified via | |
| the modificationTestInterval parameter.<code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, | |
| default <code>true</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>displaySourceFragment</strong> - Should a source fragment be | |
| included in exception messages? <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, | |
| default <code>true</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>dumpSmap</strong> - Should the SMAP info for JSR45 debugging be | |
| dumped to a file? <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, default | |
| <code>false</code>. <code>false</code> if suppressSmap is true.</li> | |
| <li><strong>enablePooling</strong> - Determines whether tag handler pooling is | |
| enabled. This is a compilation option. It will not alter the behaviour of JSPs | |
| that have already been compiled. <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, | |
| default <code>true</code>. | |
| </li> | |
| <li><strong>engineOptionsClass</strong> - Allows specifying the Options class | |
| used to configure Jasper. If not present, the default EmbeddedServletOptions | |
| will be used. | |
| </li> | |
| <li><strong>errorOnUseBeanInvalidClassAttribute</strong> - Should Jasper issue | |
| an error when the value of the class attribute in an useBean action is not a | |
| valid bean class? <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, default | |
| <code>true</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>fork</strong> - Have Ant fork JSP page compiles so they are | |
| performed in a separate JVM from Tomcat? <code>true</code> or | |
| <code>false</code>, default <code>true</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>genStringAsCharArray</strong> - Should text strings be generated as | |
| char arrays, to improve performance in some cases? Default | |
| <code>false</code>. The alternative name of <strong>genStrAsCharArray</strong> | |
| for this initialisation parameter is also supported.</li> | |
| <li><strong>ieClassId</strong> - The class-id value to be sent to Internet | |
| Explorer when using <jsp:plugin> tags. Default | |
| <code>clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>javaEncoding</strong> - Java file encoding to use for generating | |
| java source files. Default <code>UTF8</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>keepgenerated</strong> - Should we keep the generated Java source | |
| code for each page instead of deleting it? <code>true</code> or | |
| <code>false</code>, default <code>true</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>mappedfile</strong> - Should we generate static content with one | |
| print statement per input line, to ease debugging? | |
| <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, default <code>true</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>modificationTestInterval</strong> - 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. Default is <code>4</code> seconds.</li> | |
| <li><strong>recompileOnFail</strong> - If a JSP compilation fails should the | |
| modificationTestInterval be ignored and the next access trigger a re-compilation | |
| attempt? Used in development mode only and is disabled by default as compilation | |
| may be expensive and could lead to excessive resource usage.</li> | |
| <li><strong>scratchdir</strong> - What scratch directory should we use when | |
| compiling JSP pages? Default is the work directory for the current web | |
| application.</li> | |
| <li><strong>suppressSmap</strong> - Should the generation of SMAP info for JSR45 | |
| debugging be suppressed? <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, default | |
| <code>false</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>trimSpaces</strong> - Should white spaces in template text between | |
| actions or directives be trimmed ?, default <code>false</code>.</li> | |
| <li><strong>xpoweredBy</strong> - Determines whether X-Powered-By response | |
| header is added by generated servlet. <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, | |
| default <code>false</code>.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| </p> | |
| <p>The Java compiler from Eclipse JDT in included as the default compiler. It is | |
| an advanced Java compiler which will load all dependencies from the Tomcat class | |
| loader, which will help tremendously when compiling on large installations with | |
| tens of JARs. On fast servers, this will allow sub-second recompilation cycles | |
| for even large JSP pages.</p> | |
| <p>Apache Ant, which was used in previous Tomcat releases, can be used instead | |
| of the new compiler by simply removing the <code>lib/ecj-*.jar</code> file, | |
| and placing the <code>ant.jar</code> and <code>ant-launcher.jar</code> files | |
| from the latest Ant distribution in the <code>lib</code> folder.</p> | |

| Then, the declarations and mappings for the servlets which were generated | |
| during the precompilation must be added to the web application deployment | |
| descriptor. Insert the <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/generated_web.xml</code> | |
| at the right place inside the <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file. | |
| Restart the web application (using the manager) and test it to verify it is | |
| running fine with precompiled servlets. An appropriate token placed in the | |
| web application deployment descriptor may also be used to automatically | |
| insert the generated servlet declarations and mappings using Ant filtering | |
| capabilities. This is actually how all the webapps distributed with Tomcat | |
| are automatically compiled as part of the build process. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| At the jasper task you can use the option <code>addWebXmlMappings</code> for | |
| automatic merge the <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/generated_web.xml</code> | |
| with the current web application deployment descriptor at | |
| <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/web.xml</code>. When you want to use Java 5 | |
| features inside your jsp's, add the following javac compiler task attributes: | |
| <code>source="1.5" target="1.5"</code>. For live | |
| applications you can also compile with <code>optimize="on"</code> and | |
| without debug info <code>debug="off"</code>. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| When you don't want to stop the jsp generation at first jsp syntax error, use | |
| <code>failOnError="false"</code>and with | |
| <code>showSuccess="true"</code> all successfull <i>jsp to java</i> | |
| generation are printed out. Sometimes it is very helpfull, when you cleanup the | |
| generate java source files at <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/src</code> | |
| and the compile jsp servlet classes at | |
| <code>${webapp.path}/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/jsp</code>. | |
| </p> | |
| <p><strong>Hints:</strong> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li> When you switch to another Tomcat release, then regenerate and recompile | |
| your jsp's with the new Tomcat version.</li> | |
| <li>Use java system property at server runtime to disable PageContext pooling | |
| <code>org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspFactoryImpl.USE_POOL=false</code>. | |
| and limit the buffering with | |
| <code>org.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl.LIMIT_BUFFER=true</code>. Note | |
| that changing from the defaults may affect performance, but it will vary | |
| depending on the application.</li> | |
