I haven't tried this yet, but you could just try linking your esternal jsp directoy into the webapps directory. in otherwords create a link $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/yourapplication -> /var/www/html/jsps

Personally, I would like to have the choice to put my jsp/html/images etc. somewhere besides the tomcat installation directory. It's just one less hassle to deal with when you're upgrading tomcat.

It made things clearer to me. I am using ldap to allow only some users to access webpages in different directories. Therefore it would be easier for me to keep the jsp pages with my html stuff. I guess I could try to edit the server.xml file and set /var/www/html as my webapp directory, but I might have to settle with what you suggests - put them in the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory. Thanks again for your assistance!
