Packages and directories for generated .java and .class files
By default, the .java files for all JSPs are generated with the package statement, package com.ibm._jsp;. The JSP engine's class loader knows how to load JSP classes when they are all in the same package. The .java files are located in the filesystem within a directory structure mirroring the JSP source directory structure.
If the JSP engine configuration parameter useFullPackageNames is set to true, the .java files are generated with the package statement
- Package _ibmjsp.<directory structure in which the jsp is located>;
The usage of full package names enables the configuration of a JSP as a servlet in web.xml. Refer to the JSP class loading settings topic for more information. The table later in this section gives examples of packages and directory structures for generated .java and .class files.
| Directory | File name | Location of .java or .class files in file system | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JSP file | default | useFullPackageNames=true | default | useFullPackageNames=true |
| /myJsp.jsp | com.ibm._jsp | _ibmjsp | / | /_ibmjsp |
| /jspFiles/jspOne.jsp | com.ibm._jsp | _ibmjsp.jspFiles | /jspFiles | /_ibmjsp/jspFiles |
| /dir with spaces/jspTwo.jsp | com.ibm._jsp | _ibmjsp.dir_20_with_20_spaces | /dir with spaces | /_ibmjsp/dir_20_with_20_spaces |

- Generated .java files
When the JSP engine’s keepgenerated configuration parameter is set to true, the .java file that is generated for JSPs (JSP) is retained. The .java file contains information that is useful in debugging.
