Why don't you copy the jsps in the other Web App as well? Now everybody will say it won't be managable. For this you can setup Interwoven Open deploy which keeps all the files in sink.

I am using a simbolic link(on Unix box) to authorization app's JSPs so each app won't have to jump context and still share the authorization app's JSPs. I was told by network administrator that simbolic link is bad for scalability. Is it true? But since I need to store some user info in the session after login, I couldn't jump servlet contexts. That is why I use simbolic link. By using simbolic link, several apps can share common JSP pages. But our network administrator still refuse to do so. He said resources in one context shouldn't be available for other apps for security reasons. Is it true? All I want is to share jsp pages by many servlet contexts. Can anybody give me advice?
