> We can map jsp files to servlets in webXml instead of servlet classes as follows.
>    <servlet>
>      <servlet-name>foo</servlet-name>
>      <jsp-file>/bar.jsp</jsp-file>
>    </servlet>
> But when we map jsp file like this to servelts in webXml, and when we access the foo context, tomcat is saying it cannot find the resource. Further digging in we can find that currently tomcat is not generating the java class for the mapped jsp's. Debugging at tomcat level revealed that we are using an old Jasper library found in plugins directory. But tomcat need the jasper library which compatible with it. So we have to use the tomcat jasper dependency to make this work. Also make sure that other jsp's are getting compiled after this change.
