Yes, but it looks like you have put them in the wrong place.

Your web app should look something like this:

/../webapp
     /WEB-INF
         /classes
             (your java classes get compiled into here)
         /lib
             (your jar files go here)
	/struts-config.xml
         /web.xml
    (your index.html and other plain files can go here, images directory)

I created a 'jsp' directory under WEB-INF and put my directory structure 
of jsps there eg

/../webapp
     /WEB-INF
         /classes
         /lib
         /jsp
             /layout
                 /layout.jsp
             /tiles
                 /tile1.jsp
                 /tile2.jsp

Hope that helps...
