RE: 404 error when placing JSPs beneath WEB-INF

[Tom Goemaes]

BEA Weblogic doesnt allow you to put these under the WEB-INF!
I tried...

so not /WEB-INF/jsp/
but /jsp/
and you have to put a security constraint on that url so for example only
the 'system' user can access it ...

At least a forward. That way we can just refer to the logical name in
the link tag. It is also a convenient way to pass any parameters, so you
can have 

 
 

Saves a lot of slashes, and lets you do things like switch between pages
and actions, as needed.

Re: 404 error when placing JSPs beneath WEB-INF

[Bryan Field-Elliot]

I've tried this with Struts but found it to be unwieldly in the
struts-config.xml file.

Do you make an , and a , for every single "real" JSP
page?

Kind of a pain in the buttocks if you ask me, but I see where you're
going with the idea of centralizing access control, exception handling,
etc.

I wonder if I'm not doing it as elegantly as I could (with respect to
the struts-config file).

I also wonder if using the new Filtering scheme (which Struts doesn't do
anything with), is a more elegant way of inserting that layer in front
of every JSP access, rather than a Struts action.

Thanks,
Bryan

Just for the record, I don't actually do this myself anymore. 

I do strongly recommend that all references go through actions or
forwards, and that a Struts application never link directly to a JSP.
This makes where the JSPs are kept less of an issue, since that location

Re: 404 error when placing JSPs beneath WEB-INF

[holger.wiechert]

Hi,

I just came a good step closer. The version of the struts-config.xml I sent
was not correct. It should have the WEB-INF in upper case of course:
After all that different versions on NT (with its strange file namings),
I ended up with this when sending. However, the correct version is:


 


So I tried again with Tomcat3.2, Tomcat4, and Bea 6.0/6.1.
Not surprisingly, it worked fine on both Tomcats (as many
others found out a houndred times before ;-). 
But unfortunately not on Bea 6.0 or Bea 6.1.

I'll contact Bea in order to find out about the problem
and let you know about as soon as I know what the problem is.

RE: 404 error when placing JSPs beneath WEB-INF

[Andrew B Forman]

Hopefully this will help clear things up a bit...

(from Ted Husted's Struts Catalog)
(http://husted.com/about/scaffolding/catalog.htm)

---

Place all Java ServerPages below WEB-INF

Note: This is not supported by all containers (e.g. WebLogic). If you
believe it should be, contact your vendor. The Servlet 2.3 specification
makes it much clearer that this is allowed.

The container provides security for all files below WEB-INF. This applies to
client requests, but not forwards from the ActionServlet. Placing all JSPs
below WEB-INF ensure that they are only accessed through Actions, and not
directly by the client or each other. This allows security to be moved up
into the Controller, where it can be handled more efficiently, and out of
the base presentation layer.

However, if your Java ServerPages need to access a number of other HTML
resources, like images and stylesheets, it may be more convenient to leave
them in the document root. If you are using Link only to Actions, then the
address of your JSP's is never exposed anyway, and this strategy loses much
of its value. Link only to Actions is usually sufficient.




we're following Ted's suggestion for putting jsps in
WEB-INF and it's been working well so far.  the only
downside i've seen is that jBuilder5's webapp format
isn't open-minded to jsps being under WEB-INF.
(if anyone knows a work-around please share! =)

Hi,

You shouldn't have jsp's under WEB-INF, but only xml-files for
webapp-configuration,
compiled classes, libraries, tag-lib-descriptor-files etc.
WEB-INF and beneath is not accessible from outside.

RE: 404 error when placing JSPs beneath WEB-INF

[Dave J Dandeneau]

Have you tried "WEB-INF" instead of "web-inf". I was having a similiar
problem, and that fixed it.

Thanks,

Subject: 404 error when placing JSPs beneath WEB-INF


After reading the Struts Catalogue and having spent a good 
amount of time trying to get the JSPs run under the
web-inf directory, I figured out that there has been a thread
on "Can't place JSP beneath WEB-INF in WebLogic 6.0".

I'm using BEA WL 6.1 and also have the same 404 error mentioned
in the message
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg14704.html
.
However, I also tried it on Tomcat4.0 and Tomcat3.2, which both gave the
same 404 error. So it seems to be something I'm doing wrong.

Just to make sure -- I have the following setup:

1) directory structure:
- myApp
- web-inf
- jsp (contains one page: start.jsp)
- lib
- classes ...

2) struts-config.xml

...




3) StartAction 
perform(...){
...
System.out.println("forward path: " +
mapping.findForward("display").getPath());
return (mapping.findForward(forward));
  }

which accurately prints out "path: /web-inf/jsp/start.jsp"


Bea doesn't say anything except 404 (basically). 

Tomcat 3 says: 
... 404 ... 
Original request: /myApp/web-inf/jsp/start.jsp
Not found request: /myApp/web-inf/jsp/start.jsp 

Tomcat4 brings:
Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 - HTTP Status 404 - /web-inf/jsp/start.jsp


type Status report
message /web-inf/jsp/start.jsp
description The requested resource (/web-inf/jsp/start.jsp) is not
available.

The application is packed in a jar file. I checked the contents of the
file.
Looks as expected (having the jsp in the web-inf/jsp directory).

It might have something to do with Win NT4, on which the servers are
running.
But this is just a guess.


Help greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time,
Holger
