Compile time includes outside of WEB context root, are not found

           Summary: Compile time includes outside of WEB context root, are
                    not found
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.8
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper 2
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: steph@kvasar.com


Static includes of the form :
<%@ include file="../testinc.jsp" %>

where the current directory is the root of the web application, and so 
testinc.jsp lives one or more directory levels above the root of the web app.
Produce an error :
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /test2.jsp(3,0) File "../testinc.jsp" not 
found

This is a difference in behaviour from Tomcat 4.0.5, which would allow this 
compilation.

Note - I tried working around this by copying the jasper-compiler.jar & jasper-
runtime.jar files from Tomcat 4.0.5 to Tomcat 4.1.8 but the problem still 
remained.
