Compiling Java :-)

To be more precise, a compiler is required for JSP, which is a mixture of html and java that is compiled to servlets.

Theoretically you can compile them ahead of time (before deployment) but as far as I can tell no-one does.

Those who want to provide only class files and no jsp code use the JSP pre-compilation approach. The JSP folks get compiled to Java servlet byte code the same as at runtime.
