Precompiling JSP's within an EAR file using OJSPC

You can precompile JSP files to avoid the hassle of compiling the JSP on it's first request into a servlet class file at runtime prior to deployment using "ojspc". The key is how to check that it has indeed done that. His an example:

Step 1: verify EAR file

- jar -tvf jspcompile.ear

       487 Thu Jan 24 11:26:22 EST 2008 META-INF/application.xml
     226 Thu Jan 24 11:26:12 EST 2008 META-INF/orion-application.xml
    2066 Thu Jan 24 11:26:22 EST 2008 jspcompile.war

Step 2: Compile using ojspc

- ojspc jspcompile.ear

    Detected archive, now processing contents of jspcompile.ear...
  Setting up temp area...
  Expanding archive in temp area...
  Detected archive, now processing contents of /tmp/tmp56123/jspcompile.war...
  Setting up temp area...
  Expanding archive in temp area...
  Creating /tmp/tmp56123/jspcompile.war ...
  Removing temp area...
  Creating /u01/pas/tars/sr/jspcompile.ear ...

  Removing temp area...

Step 3: Verify compiled JSP JAR file is present within WEB-INF\lib

Extract EAR file

jar -xvf jspcompile.ear

     inflated: META-INF/application.xml
   inflated: META-INF/orion-application.xml
   inflated: jspcompile.war

Extract WAR File

jar -xvf jspcompile.war

     inflated: Page1.jsp
   inflated: Page2.jsp
   inflated: WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/orion-application.xml
   inflated: WEB-INF/web.xml
   inflated: WEB-INF/lib/__oracle_jsp_jspcompile.jar

As you can see OJSPC has created a file called "__oracle_jsp_jspcompile.jar" with the precompiled JSP source files ready to be run. More info on this is in the online documentation for OAS 10.1.3.x
