The only reason with struts to put the jsp's under the web-inf is to guarantee that your actions are executed in the expected manner. If you leave the jsp's in a public directory then it is possible to execute them out of sequence or without the proper form load / unload since the web server will just as happily give out the jsp as the action in a public directory.
The style sheets and images were not supposed to be moved to the web-inf directory. Perhaps that was the source of your problem. Since tiles is driven by the struts action controller it will not be a problem in the web-inf directory. Hope this helps Edgar -----Original Message----- From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 5:41 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: JSP's under WEB-INF... or not Having the jsp files under WEB-INF is nice because I know no one can get to them without going through an action. But it already caused one problem with my style sheet and the images within it. Now I'm about to add tiles to the mix, and I wonder if I'm going to unnecessarily complicate my life by having my jsp's where they don't "officially" belong. I'm wondering if I can get the same effect by putting them in /path/to/tomcat/webapps/my_app/private and then putting a Filter in front of just that directory to keep people from requesting those pages directly.
