Is it possible to instruct Tomcat to use for JSP other compiler (Jikes,
etc.) that's faster than stock JDK javac? Anybody tried this? If yes
what compilers are available and how to configure Tomcat?

When I tried to use the following in web.xml to enable Jikes it gave me
an exception at a 1st attempt to compile a JSP:

        <init-param>
            <param-name>jspCompilerPlugin</param-name>

<param-value>org.apache.jasper.compiler.JikesJavaCompiler</param-value>
        </init-param>

Internal Servlet Error:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
