Summary: use an init-param for jspFile on explicit jsp servlets
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: trunk
Platform: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Jasper
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: djen...@apache.org

patch to translate jsp-file elements to jspServlet init params
A <servlet> element in web.xml can include a jsp-file rather than a servlet
class. Currently in catalina and jasper this is handled by a bunch of runtime
code that tracks the jsp file outside the servlet and feeds it to the servlet
as a request attribute. This requires a bunch of runtime code, some of which
is marked "hold your nose".
Instead, it's possible to supply the jsp-file as an init-param to the jsp
servlet instance that is set up to handle this <servlet> element. This makes
runtime handling of these jsp servlets identical to all other servlets and
transfers the small amount of jsp-aware code still needed in catalina to the
deployment phase.
The attached patch appears to pass all the tomcat tests and doesn't appear to
cause any tck problems in the geronimo-tomcat integration.
In this patch, JspServlet will still respond to the jsp file as a request
attribute but catalina won't send it. Thus jasper is backwards compatible with
earlier catalina versions but catalina is not backward compatible for
explicitly mentioned jsp-file in servlet elements with earlier jasper versions.
It would be helpful to geronimo to apply the JspServlet patch even if the
catalina changes aren't applied as we are using this technique in the
geronimo-jetty integration and are subclassing JspServlet to provide this
behavior.
