You write HTML, such as pages with extra tags interspersed with Java coding, into a text file. If you do this in a running web application, then the code recompiles on the next page call. This process supports agile programming practices, but the risk is that developers make messy, hard-to-read JSP code that is difficult to maintain. It would be nice if Jenkins could display metrics about the code to defend quality.
JSP pages are compiled on the fly the first time a user request for the page is received. The user will perceive this as a slow loading of the page, and this may deter them from future visits. To avoid this situation, you can compile the JSP page during the...
