jsps in tomcat

[Chris Busch <cb...@medservelink.com>]

With gnujsp, we have our .jsp files sitting along everything else like cgi
and .gif in the doc hierarchy.  From the looks of Tomcat, it will not
support this.  Is that true?  We need to have .jsp files anywhere after the
doc root for downward compatibility.

Any suggestions?

It's not that easy!

The root context has to be expanded to the document root of your
webserver. Otherwise tomcat gets the request from the server and
searches for the jsp file in the wrong place. Try something like
this in server.xml:

<Context path="" docBase="/document/root/dir" debug="0" reloadable="true">
</Context>

What makes you think it won't support it?  Tomcat recognizes .jsp files by their extension, not location.
