[Spacewalk-list] Java server pages precompilation

[Lukas Zapletal]

Hello all,

I have changed our build process to precompile JSPF pages along with JSP pages. This solves known bug 628555 (ServletException/JspException File not found /usr/share/tomcat6/work/Catalina/ ... /jsp/WEB_002dINF/ ...) and also speeds up application responses after startup (no server pages compilation needs to be done now - you may noticed some links were slower than others when clicking for the first time).

I have upgraded the jasper2-compiler library in the ivy.xml to version 5.5 (we use this version in RPMs), created a internal class that sets file extensions for Jasper2 properly, changed the jasper2 taskdef in our build-taskdefs.xml and fixed a LOG4J warning in the precompilation build step. By precompiling those pages I have found three minor problems in JSPF files: one was no longer in use and two was missing a jsp tag definition. I have fixed that. Our package will be slightly bigger because instead 446 compiled pages (class files) we have 561. That's nothing.

If you run into problems let me know.
