"The WEB-INF node is not part of the public
document tree of the application. No file contained in the WEB-INF directory may
be served directly to a client by the container. However, the contents of the WEB-INF
directory are visible to servlet code using the getResource and
getResourceAsStream method calls on the ServletContext."
WLS just interpreted that statement differently than others. I would love to see this addressed in the spec though.

Subject: Re: hiding jsp pages in WEB-INF on weblogic6.1

Setup that security-constraint that David Graham posted earlier. I hadn't thought about doing it that way before, but I have to say it's an ingenious though. Suddenly, <html:base/> has meaning again (or I suspect it will when I refactor using his tip). The "hide it under WEB-INF" trick is perfectly legal according to the servlet specification; unfortunately vendors don't always keep pace with or correctly comprehend - or perhaps fully implement - the specification.
I think WebLogic maybe didn't fully implement the spec. This is at least the second or third thing I've heard of that they geeked on :-/ (I don't use it so I don't keep super-close track of them).

--I have hidden my jsp pages in a subdir of WEB-INF so that they are not directly accessible from a browser request.The only way to navigate to the pages is via a struts action, and this way I can also check the user is logged on before we perform the action. This works fine on tomcat4.0.1, but when I deploy the same war file on weblogic6.1 sp3, any action request results in a 404 and it can't find the files. Before I spend time working out whats going wrong on weblogic, has anyone else tried this on wls6.1 and got it to work? Thanks in advance, Kevin Hooke
