I have not run into that kind of problem before... typically if you hit a JSP without hitting its controller first you will just get nothing (an HTML screen with no data). when it gets routed back to the controller, it will then register a failure due to lack of data. Problem solved.

Given that the Java" Servlet Specification Version 2.4, page 70 sez: A special directory exists within the application hierarchy named WEB-INF. This directory contains all things related to the application that aren't in the document root of the application. 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. I don't know how much more "portable" you want it to be :-) HTH! -- Hassan Schroeder ----------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webtuitive Design === (+1) 408-938-0567 === http://webtuitive.com dream. code. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
