Except that I think at least one commercial Servlet container interpreted it more strictly and refused to serve anything under WEB-INF, even with a forward. IOW, the specification says the container MAY NOT serve anything under WEB-INF directly, but it doesn't say that the container MUST serve those things INdirectly. No idea which one that was, I just remember being warned when I put things under WEB-INF, that it wouldn't work everywhere. Since I never plan to use anything but Tomcat, it wasn't a problem. -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
