JSP Weaver 1.0 M1
August 22nd, 2007 by Jevgeni KabanovAlthough not directly connected to Aranea we are proud to present the first release from our spin-off ZeroTurnaround. The spin-off will focus on increasing developer productivity by reducing development turnaround time.
Our first product JSP Weaver is a JSP interpreter. Usually JSP is first translated to regular Java code and then compiled into a Java servlet. JSP Weaver eliminates the Java generation and compilation stage by interpreting the JSP files on-the-fly. This reduces the time taken to reload a JSP up to 50 times bringing it from seconds down to milliseconds.
Although we will provide full support of JSP standard in the final release, this milestone does not yet include support for the non-XML old style JSP syntax and provides limited support for scriptlets. If you are using XML syntax for your JSPs have a go at it and be amazed by the speedup.
Disclaimer: JSP Weaver is a commercial product that costs about 49$ per developer seat. You can try it out for free with no limitation, but must buy it for development.
