Re: curious mapping anomaly: tomcat to weblogic6.1

Can't do that on WLS :-(. I'm pretty sure I've also tried it on WLS 7.0
and it doesn't work there either. One alternative to the
JSPs-under-WEB-INF is to use a security constraint in web.xml to
disallow all access to a directory where all your JSPs are kept.
Unfortunately, this was also broken in WLS 6.1. I actually submitted a
bug for this but I don't know if they ever patched it or fixed it in WLS
6.1sp3. The security constraint bug *is* fixed in WLS 7.0.
