I have been thinking about improvements to Jasper as well around better support for Servlet 3.0 concepts. One area would be decoupling it from Tomcat, bootstrapping using an SCI as hinted in ContextConfig. I'd also be interested in improving the Ant task as well, such as support for pre-compiling a separate package that would be treated as a web fragment (including web.xml-less pre-compilation, generating a web-fragment.xml rather than a web.xml snippet or potentially eliminating the XML entirely if the generated code can be annotated with @WebServlet). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
