In answer to some of the issues raised by Mike in his blog:
* Glassfish does not include an Ant task for JSP compilation. Though it does include a jspc script, it is not usually used. The deploy option --precompilejsp makes manual compilation of JSP pasges unnecessary. I believe the ant task that work for tomcat may also work in glassfish.
* Jspc in Glassfish includes for compilation all JSP pages that has .jsp and.jspx suffices, as well as those that are declared (with jsp-config) as JSP files in web.xml.
* Yes, jsr 199 is supported. Glad that you've found it to be much faster.
* Jpsc lets you direct the resultant class files with -d option.
