Packages and directories for generated .java and .class files

By default, the .java files for all JSP files are generated with the package statement, package com.ibm._jsp;. The JSP engine's class loader knows how to load JSP classes when they are all in the same package. The .java files are located in the filesystem within a directory structure mirroring the JSP source directory structure.

If the JSP engine configuration parameter useFullPackageNames is set to true, the .java files are generated with the package statement

Package _ibmjsp.<directory structure in which the jsp is located>;

The usage of full package names enables the configuration of a JSP as a servlet in web.xml.

Directory		File name		Location of .java or .class files in file system
JSP file	default	useFullPackageNames=true	default	useFullPackageNames=true
/myJsp.jsp	com.ibm._jsp	_ibmjsp	/	/_ibmjsp
/jspFiles/jspOne.jsp	com.ibm._jsp	_ibmjsp.jspFiles	/jspFiles	/_ibmjsp/jspFiles
/dir with spaces/jspTwo.jsp	com.ibm._jsp	_ibmjsp.dir_20_with_20_spaces	/dir with spaces	/_ibmjsp/dir_20_with_20_spaces
