Is the jasper engine within tomcat act as a compiler for the jsp?
Is javac (as in jsdk1.4) is the compiler for the servlets within tomcat?

Yes, Apache's Jasper JSP compiler compiles jsp files.

yes, javac from the sdk 1.4 is used instead. If you look at the bat file that starts up tomcat, i.e:-

D:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin\java.exe -jar -Duser.dir="D:\Tomcat41" "D:\Tomcat41\bin\bootstrap.jar" start

Hi
Thank u for helping me.
But now i am having another question
It the javac compiler itself compiles the sevlet then how
it does not allow to save the servlets with a name other than its class name
(As javac only allow that facility in the simple java application)


Plz give some explaination on this

Thanks in advance

Bye

What's the question here?

The Java specification states that a class should be contained in a file whose fully qualified name (including path) is identical to that of the classname (including package) of that class when seen from a root of the classpath.
This applies to the root directory from where you are compiling as well for the sources of that class.
