JSP Translation

[Joe San]

Guys,

Does JSP translation also includes compilation?? or only syntax xhexking and conversion to a jsva file??

[NDP Prasad]

Is compilation included in the Translation?

[Raj Menon]

I don't think compilation is part of translation

[Rancy Chadha]

Jothi,

only syntax xhexking and conversion to a jsva file??

I think you meant - only syntax checking and conversion to a java file???

The answer can be found in specs as:
From JSP.1.1.4 - "In the translation phase, the container validates the syntactic correctness of the JSP pages and tag files and determines a JSP page implementation class that corresponds to the JSP page."
From JSP.1.1.9 - "A JSP page can also be compiled at deployment time."

I hope this answers your question

From JSP.1.1.4 - "In the translation phase, the container validates the syntactic correctness of the JSP pages and tag files and determines a JSP page implementation class that corresponds to the JSP page."

Rancy ,
From the above point what should we interpret.It is only Translation or Since class is mentioned there - Does it include compilation also?
and the second point

From JSP.1.1.9 - "A JSP page can also be compiled at deployment time."

is only telling that we can make our web application ready in every sense means - Since a JSP file is translated and compiled into a servlet class on the first request,instead of that we can make all JSPs converted into class files using some third party libraries and deploy our application so as not to make even the first request slow.
