Compiling JSPs with -g

Question

Hello,
          how can I get WLS to compile my JSPs (deployed in a .war-file) with
          debugging info (i.e. the javac "-g" Flag)? I tried to set the
          "compileCommand" property in weblogic.properties, but it's being
          ignored. Here's what I did:
          weblogic.httpd.initArgs.*.jsp=\
          pageCheckSeconds=1,\
          compileCommand=/path/to/wls/javacg.sh,\
          workingDir=/path/to/wls/myserver/classfiles,\
          verbose=true
          javacg.sh is a shell script that calls javac with the -g flag, like
          this:
          #!/bin/sh
          javac -g $*
          I also tried to set the "compileCommand" to "javac -g" directly.
          But on startup, WLS keeps telling me that:
          <WebAppServletContext-appcontext> *.jsp: param compileCommand initialized to: javac
          The string "javac" doesn't appear anywhere in weblogic.properties
          except for the abovementioned property definition.
          Do the above properties apply to JSPs deployed in WAR-files at all? If
          not, where can I set them?
          I also tried to compile my JSPs manually with weblogic.jspc -g , but
          WLS would always re-compile the JSPs upon their first invocation.
          Any hints?
          TIA,
          Olaf

Hi,
          I think that for web applications (i.e. war files) the options to the
          JSP servlet (which is the one doing the compilation) must be in the
          web.xml file (deployment descriptor). Most options in the
          weblogic.properties file do not apply for a war file, they have to be
          specified in the web.xml.
