Tomcat: How do I call JspC manually?

Question

It looks like org.apache.jasper.JspC has a main() method defined, So how should I call it to generate the desired .class file?

Answer 1

1) http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/jasper-howto.html#Web_Application_Compilation

2) Generally, bin/tool-wrapper.bat, bin/tool-wrapper.sh is designed as a wrapper for such command-line tools, but JspC depends on org.apache.tools.ant.Task, so you need to have Apache Ant libs on the classpath.

3) protected static final String SWITCH_HELP = "-help";
