PI09192: Weblogics JSP compiler default command is deprecated in 11.X and beyond resulting in debug not matching line numbers in JSPs

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• Weblogics has deprecated our default JSP compiler executable and
  command line options.
  
  To workaround the issue for clients we had to udpate the default
  command to read:
  %JAVA_PATH% -classpath %JSP_COMPILER_CLASSPATH% weblogic.appc
  -verbose -keepgenerated -g -lineNumbers %WEB_CONTEXT_ROOT_PATH%
  
  Also, we needed to leverage debug and package property settings
  in the weblogics.xml file for JSP pre-compilation to work as
  expected. They appc is weblogics new jsp compiler in release 11g
  and greater.

  ****************************************************************
  Using jspc compiler in the command line for scanning a
  weblogic project is kind of outdated and latest WebLogic
  uses appc compiler.
  

Problem conclusion

• We  have no plans to fix this as of now because this can be
  easily changed by a user and by making this change we could
  introduce more errors for users who still want to use jspc.
