I'm currently running into the same situation.  If you added to your web-inf 
directory.  Do you just create a dir called "jsp"?  and treat that as your root?  Is 
there any sort of special path or configuration needed for this?  I'm using Tomcat 5.0.
 
Thanks,

        Way overkill.  Put your jsps in WEB-INF, and no one can get at them.  If your 
container is new enough to handle filters, use them instead.  Otherwise, use a 
BaseSecurityAction that overrides execute, does the check and then calls 
whateverYouWantForYourActualExecutionCode( same params as execute).

        You shouldn't allow access to your jsp pages.
