get Tomcat 5 to compile at startup?

[Mads Kristiansen]

Hi!

Is it possible to make Tomcat 5 compile all *.jsp's on startup? - Or
do something similar that will make the server compile all pages at
once?

Right now it's compiling a page the first time you make the request
from a browser - and it takes forever to load the page. It's really a
pain.

Best regards

Thanks for the quick reply, but what I'm looking for is some kind of
setting in Tomcat 5.

I work in a company with a dozen of (big) applications that we need to
run at a server very often and it is crucial that we compile all the
source code every time. As it is right now, IE hangs every time Tomcat
starts compiling a page. So it would be very handy if Tomcat just
started compiling the applications once we restarted the server or
deployed a new build.

Can someone please specify if Tomcat 5 has any settings that has that
kind of functionality?

AFAIK, no such thing exists -- but you can explicitly compile your
JSPs before deployment with the Jasper tool included in Tomcat
distribution. THere are even ready ant tasks to handle the
compilation.

My employer has standardized on Tomcat as the web engine of choice. The
modified distribution we're supposed to use does exactly as you suggest --
compile all previously uncompiled JSPs on webapp startup. I don't know
exactly how it does what it does, but it does.
