From what i've read servlets seem to work, is this so, and if so how. I ask because it seems that if servlets work then jsps should be not to complicated as long as i can compile them to .class servlets 2. what version of gcj should i use to try and compile tomcat, is 3.0.4 new enough or do i need the 3.1 branch 3. has any of this been tried with tomcat4 or just 3.3 4. does the connection to apache work? and if so what connector should i use? does mod_jk work as well many thanks don smith Anthony Green wrote: >On Fri, 2002-04-26 at 13:33, Don Smith wrote: > > >>What's the status of a gcj version of tomcat that can support jsps? >>Is it possible, if not what needs to be done? >> >> > >It's been a while since I looked at that (even though it would be really >cool to get this working). > >When I did start looking at it, I went about it the wrong way -- setting >up tomcat to compile the jsp code to .so immediately.
