Can we change the name of class file which we get after running a jsp page

[satish chander]

When we run a jsp page it ultimately results in a servlet with a name _jsp. For example if i had made a jsp page called welcome.jsp it will become _welcome.class . So my question is , is there any way to change the name of the resultant class file(servlet).

Please be sure to take the time to compose descriptive subjects for your posts; read this for more information.

A title such as "JSP" is not helpful. What would happen if all posts had such a title?

If there were, It's certainly be container-specific. Why do you care what the file is named?

According to the JSP specification section JSP.11.2

The name of the JSP page implementation class is implementation dependent.

Also

The JSP Page implementation object belongs to an implementation-dependent named package.

I'm still trying to figure out why you'd want to do this.

Ask them for what server they want it done. Ask them if they want it mapped to the original JSP, or if it will be mapped via manual configuration. Ask them why they want it done.

You could look up stuff about JSP precompilation.
