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
