Hi,
Is it possible to create a jar file (mobile app) from JSP files? I mean instead of using some toolkit to compile the java files and create the jar file, can I do the same using JSP files?
Thanks.

Jump to Postin theory. But you should never use a JSP for anything except showing things, NEVER do business logic in them.

Why is it not good to do business logic using JSP files?
Also what will I need to set up the environment to create jar files via JSP? What do I need to install?

How do you find this sort of code? Easy to read? Do you have problems to find out where scriplet starts and where is end? How would you handle methods calls that are so easily available to you through server side coding?
