silly Doubt regarding transation and compilation

[Biren shah]

hi all,
i have seen different things in different text and tutorial.
for k&b translation means only servlet.java file is created..
and compilation is not part of translation phase...

in some mock exam translation and compilation are both part of translation phase and others phases are in request-processing phase..

Am i wrong somewhere in interpretation?

In the scwcd 1.4 exam..if the word comes as Translation phase then what should i consider only translation of jsp file into servlet.java file ???

please help me
thanks in advance

Translation means jsp file is translated to java file....here the jsp syntax checks are done.......compilation is next stage ...here the translated java file is compiled for java related errors......
hope this helps..
pls correct me ranchers if i am wrong ...

To add another complication: where does validation occur? Quite often this is rolled into the same process and simply bundled as part of "translation", whereas in fact when we talk about "translation" we often mean "validation + translation into servlet source".
