JSP engine
The WebSphere Application Server JSP (JSP) engine is the implementation of the JSP Specification.
WebSphere Application Server v8.5 supports the JSP 2.1 specification.
The JSP engine
- Validates JSP source, both classic and XML styles
- Translates JSP source to Java classes
- Compiles Java classes, reporting any errors
- Generates Java classes for any tag files used by the JSP
- Interfaces with the web container to load JSP class files
- Supports JSP batch compilation, JSP compilation during application installation, and JSP compilation during the build process of customer applications, through an Ant task.
- Loads class files, and manage lifecycle (reloading, unloading as necessary)
- Supports debugging of JSP files through support for JSR 45 (Debugging Support for Other Languages)
