JSP Weaver is a JavaServer Pages interpreter. Unlike JSP compilers it evaluates the JSP files directly, without generating or compiling intermediate Java source files for the JSP Java servlet.
Although this sacrifices some performance on page rendering (10%-20% overhead depending on the compiler in question) it enables a much faster reloading of changes made to the source of the JSP file (10-20 times decrease in time depending on the page and the compiler in question).
Unlike simpler attempts at interpreting JSP-like syntax (e.g. Facelets) it supports embedded Java statements called Scriptlets (a standard JSP feature). This allows full compatibility with the JSP specification versions 1.0 to 2.1.
