This section describes the JSP pre-compilation functionality and maintenance of compilation results.

Normally, the JSP files in a Web application are compiled on the Web container when the first request arrives for a JSP file. If you use the JSP pre-compilation functionality, you can compile a JSP file before deploying the Web applications. If you compile the JSP files beforehand by the JSP pre-compilation functionality, you can shorten the response time when the first request arrives for a JSP file.

You can also specify whether to maintain the Java source files and the class files that act as JSP compilation results, when the J2EE server is restarted.

The following table describes the organization of this section.
