Precompiled JSP pages and EJBs

Production and test deployments should include precompiled JSP pages and EJBs (use weblogic.appc or weblogic.jspc/weblogic.ejbc with earlier weblogic versions). They can catch compile-time errors in applications long before you deploy them. Also offline compilation validates the deployment descriptors for compliance with current specifications. Deploying compiled applications reduces deployment time and subsequent server restart time. Development deployments intended for use on the developer's workstation can use on-the-fly compilation.

Tips

1. To precompile JSP files during application deployment or server startup, enable the precompile parameter in weblogic.jar.

2. To disable pagecheck and recompilation at runtime in a production environment, set pageCheckSeconds to -1.

3. You can use weblogic.appc or weblogic.ejbc (deprecated) to compile EJBs outside the server VM. This reduces the subsequent server restart time.

4. Use the weblogic.Deployer utility, or its associated Ant task, wldeploy, in scripts to automate deployment in production environments.
