Setting up the Compiler (SAP Library - Administration Manual)

Setting up the Compiler

Use

You can specify the compiler that is used by the Web Container Service to compile web applications’ files. You can choose either to use a compiler such as javac (that will execute in a separate process), or to compile source file by calling the sun.tools.javac.Main. You can use the Internal Compiler and External Compiler properties of the Web Container Service to configure the compiler.

Procedure

...

1. In the Visual Administrator, open the Properties tab of the Web Container Service

2. Next:

If You Want To	Then
Do compiling by calling a method of sun.tools.javac.Main	Set the Internal Compiler property to true.
Use a certain type of Java compiler	Specify the name of the compiler as a value of the External Compiler property. By default, the container uses javac compiler. You must also set the Internal Compiler property to false.

3. Remember to choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text (Save Properties) after editing the properties to save your settings

After you have specified the compiler that the Web Container must use, you can enable some of its standard options. In the case of using javac compiler, you can set its option to generate debugging information. You can do this by setting the CompilerDebuggingInfo property of the Web Container Service to true. This is equivalent to using the standard –g option of the javac compiler on the command line.
