jspc without WEB-INF/web.xml

843835Apr 5 2002 — edited Apr 5 2002

I'm using tomcat's jspc utility to compile my jsp (just so I don't have to go through the whole runtime process to find errors). when I try:

jspc login.jsp

I get the following error:

2002-04-04 11:46:36 - Internal Error: File /WEB-INF/web.xml not found

I don't have a WEB-INF/web.xml directory in my development structure (that gets create during ant dist).

My questions: why does it need a web.xml? how can I specify which web.xml to use?

I was able to compile successfully from the directory where the jsp gets deployed, $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/projdir.
