A JavaServer Pages compiler, or JSP compiler, is a program that parses JavaServer Pages (JSPs), and transforms them into executable Java Servlets. A program of this type is usually embedded into an application server and run automatically the first time a JSP is accessed, but pages may also be precompiled for better performance, or compiled as a part of the build process to test for errors.
Most JSP containers support configuring how often the container checks JSP file timestamps to see if the page has changed. Typically, this timestamp would be set to a short interval (perhaps seconds) during software development, and a longer interval (perhaps minutes, or even never) for a deployed Web application.
