Compiling Java Server Pages (JSP) in a WAR file to

问题:

I have a test WAR file that I generated from source. When I unzip the WAR file I see that the Java classes were compiled to .class files, but the .jsp files were not compiled. I understand this is done at runtime and the .jsp files are eventually converted to .class files.

I developed my WAR file in Tomcat7. I realize this is an odd question. The end goal is to develop a static analysis tool which runs on class files (I cannot read jsp files).

I've read that I can optimize the WAR file and precompile the JSP files into a JAR file that is nested in the WAR file, but I can't figure out how to do it. I'd like to find or create a utility that takes an unoptimized WAR file and generates the JSP class files.

Yes, JSPs are normally generated on the fly. In Tomcat, it is done by the Jasper JSP engine.

It is possible to pre-compile them. This article might help: How to pre-compile JSP

It describes how to trigger the pre-compilation from the command line and includes an example Ant file.
