Tim's solution is the easiest, but allow me to explain why your application
is behaving that way.
By specifying the following
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
You are saying that all requests that come into your application are to be
forwarded to the servlet. Thus when you redirect to "/jsp/index.jsp" it is
taking back into the servlet. My guess is that you are trying to force
everyone to the /jsp/index.jsp" page no matter which "url" they use to get
to your application. I do not know of an easy way to do this. I like Tim's
solution and hopefully that will fulfill your needs.

If I am reading this correctly, an "easier" solution would be to create
an index.jsp at the root level that forwards to "/jsp/index.jsp"
