How to setup precompiled jsps with Tomee/Openejb?

Question

I am having this error:

Caused by: org.apache.tomee.catalina.TomEERuntimeException: org.apache.openejb.OpenEJBException: Unable to load servlet class: org.apache.jsp.versionMessage_jsp: org.apache.jsp.versionMessage_jsp

This the setup:
1. versionMessage.jsp is precompiled via org.apache.jasper.JspC
2. web.xml is declaration is as follows:

  <servlet>
        <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.versionMessage_jsp</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.jsp.versionMessage_jsp</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.versionMessage_jsp</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/versionMessage.jsp</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

1. If I don' precompile, just raw jsp is included in the war, there is no problem.
   

What could I be missing?
