Hi Jack, The basic idea is, we have jsp's that must be edited on the fly, through a web page. Those edits must survive updates of the application itself. So, if you think of the edited jsp's as being headers or footers that are included in other jsp files, we want to save these headers and footers outside of the tomcat/webapps/ROOT directory, because this will get deleted when we deploy a new ROOT.war file. So, we were hoping on saving them in something like /var/jsp/footer.jsp and /var/jsp/header.jsp so that when /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ROOT gets deleted and then redeployed with a new version of the application, we can continue using the old footer.jsp and header.jsp files. And unfortunately, these special files do need jsp code, and must be more than just html.
