compileJsp task

---

The compileJsp task compiles the JSP files in the src/main/webapp directory so that they can be packaged with the application. The Java version used for the compilation comes from either the release attribute on the compileJava task or the sourceCompatibility property with the first taking precedence.

Note: As of Liberty version 24.0.0.1, this task only works with Long Term Service (LTS) releases of Java. See the documentation for the valid values for the javaSourceLevel attribute on the jspEngine configuration element. Prior to version 24.0.0.1, the jdkSourceLevel attribute was used on the jspEngine element and only supported up to and including Java 8 (specified as 18).

dependsOn

compileJsp depends on installLiberty and compileJava.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Since	Description	Required
jspVersion	int	2.0	Sets the JSP version to use. Valid values are 2.2 or 2.3. The default value is 2.3.	No
jspCompileTimeout	int	2.0	Maximum time to wait (in seconds) for all the JSP files to compile. The server is stopped and the goal ends after this specified time. The default value is 30 seconds.	No

The jspVersion and jspCompileTimeout properties are set in the liberty.jsp closure.

Example:

apply plugin: 'liberty'
apply plugin: 'war'

liberty {
    server {
        serverXmlFile = file("src/resources/server.xml")
        stripVersion = true
    }
    jsp {
        jspVersion = 2.2
        jspCompileTimeout = 35
    }
}
