The official source for the JAR file Jasper JSP

Question

I include the org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet class in my Java project to compile JSP files at runtime (this project is based on the implementation of embedded Jetty). The class seems to be part of the Jetty JSP Engine, which seems to be included in Tomcat and Glassfish. The question I have is the official source of the JAR files that include this class?

The best source that I have found so far are Maven repositories, however I assume that there is an official Jasper project somewhere on the Internet that creates the source JAR files ... after all, where are the Maven repositories to get this file? I just want to make sure that I get the latest and best version of this class, as there are many versions floating around the network with many repositories missing or having file versions that others do not.

Thanks Harry

Answer 1

I searched the exact same thing, and the closest I found is the Tomcat source code repository.

Here is the folder used for Tomcat v7.0.x

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc7.0.x/trunk/java/org/apache/jasper/

Here you can find other versions.

http://tomcat.apache.org/svn.html

This explains why some maven repositories deliver Jasper in a folder like

% repository% / org.apache.tomcat / jasper

Answer 2

There is no Jasper project other than what is supported in the Tomcat Project. The source can be found at svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/ All apache projects are listed on apache.org and Jasper is an apache product, but it is under the Tomcat umbrella.
