Apache Tomcat precompile JSPs before first request

Question

Is there any option in Apache Tomcat Web Server, to compile the JSPs in a WAR at deploy time, instead of the first request instance.

So that, when a user requests it for the first time he should not get a performance lag.

We are using Apache Tomcat 5
