Description leejk421 2004-02-10 18:15:21 UTC 
I have noticed that in the 3.6 beta, you can no 
longer create a new JSP file under a filesystem 
with the new file wizard unless you have a web 
module mounted. Now this is a bit of overkill, 
because not every developer uses this type of 
structure. Our application makes extensive use of 
JSP's, but because of the way it accesses our 
database, there is no way to execute/debug JSP's 
from within the IDE, they must be uploaded to a 
test server for testing/debugging.

Also, 3.6 no longer allows you to compile a JSP 
in the editor, which is another shortfall. Being 
able to quickly compile a JSP is useful to 
quickly debug any syntax errors and the like, 
without having to actually go through the whole 
JSP execution process. And again, that is 
dependent upon the developer being able to mount 
and make use of a web module, which I do not.

In short, the forcing of a mounted web module 
should be optional as was in 3.5.
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2004-02-11 09:08:32 UTC 
Reassigning to web module.
Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2004-02-11 10:44:15 UTC 
As for JSP compilation, this is now replaced by JSP validation, which
does roughly the same, only is faster and less buggy.

I'll let Ana and Ann comment on the JSP creation issue.
Comment 3 Ann Sunhachawee 2004-02-11 17:24:45 UTC 
The issue of JSP creation is logged as an enhancement here: 39670

For the bug submitter - could you include the basic structure of your
web module (e.g. hierarchy of directories, and noting where WEB-INF,
web.xml, JSPs, servlets, and other java classes and other config files
(struts, etc) are )

Would help in getting more examples of how commonly ppl structure web
apps and what we should support. thanks.

Ann, please look at the provided attachment that you requested and 
then close this bug as a duplicate of the JSP wizard 

Petr, did you file an RFE to reintroduce compilation? We've had a lot 
of requests for it. I'll bring it up in the JSP spec again.
Comment 6 Ann Sunhachawee 2004-02-12 17:18:05 UTC 
Thanks for the input.
