  - isOutDated
```
public boolean isOutDated()
```
    This is a protected method intended to be overridden by subclasses of Compiler. This is used by the compile method to do all the compilation.
  - isOutDated
```
public boolean isOutDated(boolean checkClass)
```
    Determine if a compilation is necessary by checking the time stamp of the JSP page with that of the corresponding .class or .java file. If the page has dependencies, the check is also extended to its dependents, and so on. This method can by overridden by a subclasses of Compiler.
    
    Parameters:
    checkClass - If true, check against .class file, if false, check against .java file.
  - getErrorDispatcher
```
public ErrorDispatcher getErrorDispatcher()
```
    Gets the error dispatcher.
  - getPageInfo
```
public org.apache.jasper.compiler.PageInfo getPageInfo()
```
    Gets the info about the page under compilation
  - getCompilationContext
```
public JspCompilationContext getCompilationContext()
```
  - removeGeneratedFiles
```
public void removeGeneratedFiles()
```
    Remove generated files
  - removeGeneratedClassFiles
```
public void removeGeneratedClassFiles()
```
