JSP engine

The WAS JSPs engine is the implementation of the Java Server Pages Specification.

WAS V7.0 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 that are 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 life-cycle (reloading, unloading as necessary)

• Supports debugging of JSPs through support for JSR 45 (Debugging Support for Other Languages)
