Weblogic has a weblogic.jspc class:

Usage: java weblogic.jspc [options] <jsp files>...
 
where options include:
   <snip>
    -compiler <javac> Java compiler to exec.  If not specified, the
                      -compilerclass option will be used.
    -compilerclass <com.sun.tools.javac.Main> Compiler class to invoke.
   <snip>

So I guess I should be using jikes or the sun compiler. However, the 
translation portion doesn't seem to work. I've double-checked my 
classpath to make sure that weblogic.jar is in it, and I set the 
compiler as "weblogic.jspc". Yet, I get the famous:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: weblogic.jspc

org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader.findClassInComponents(AntClassLoader.java:1075)

Hmph. If I understand what you're saying here:

I need to get the translation working before I even try to launch the 
compiler (whether Sun's or jikes), right? I looked quickly through the 
archives again and it doesn't seem like many people are using the jspc 
task with weblogic, unless I didn't search correctly. If anyone has used 
it successfullyand there is some tweaking or magic involved to get it 
working, please let me know. :-) Otherwise, I guess I'll go back to the 
home-grown version that used to work.

Thanks,
