## Interface JspCompilerAdapter

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    DefaultJspCompilerAdapter, JasperC

      public interface JspCompilerAdapter

  The interface that all jsp compiler adapters must adhere to.

  A compiler adapter is an adapter that interprets the jspc's parameters in preparation to be passed off to the compiler this adapter represents. As all the necessary values are stored in the Jspc task itself, the only thing all adapters need is the jsp task, the execute command and a parameterless constructor (for reflection).

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `JspMangler` | `createMangler()`
    `boolean` | `execute()` Executes the task.
    `boolean` | `implementsOwnDependencyChecking()` ask if compiler can sort out its own dependencies
    `void` | `setJspc(JspC attributes)` Sets the compiler attributes, which are stored in the Jspc task.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### setJspc

          void setJspc(JspC attributes)

      Sets the compiler attributes, which are stored in the Jspc task.
      Parameters:
        `attributes` - the jsp compiler attributes

    - #### execute

          boolean execute()
                   throws BuildException

      Executes the task.
      Returns:
        has the compilation been successful
      Throws:
        `BuildException` - on error

    - #### createMangler

          JspMangler createMangler()

      Returns:
        an instance of the mangler this compiler uses

    - #### implementsOwnDependencyChecking

          boolean implementsOwnDependencyChecking()

      ask if compiler can sort out its own dependencies
      Returns:
        true if the compiler wants to do its own depends
