Now I know what you were trying to say. Yes, that's weird that the source code is in the WEB-INF directory -- probably because it's pretty much useless in there and just makes the WAR file bigger. > What I posted earlier wouldn't have been a problem at all.

Realistically, the only problem is that you want the project root to be "." instead of "./WEB-INF", which seems more natural based on where the files are. What's wrong with using "." and just always going into WEB-INF/content to edit the JSPs? Also, is there a problem moving WEB-INF/src to src? It's easy to change the ant script to reflect this. I do know that moving directories around in a revision control system is sometimes a real PITA (CVS, I'm looking at /you/), but that small move would certainly help a lot. There actually is a reason for putting the JSPs inside the WEB-INF folder: to protect them from direct access. The way the original developer(s) set things up, the user will be unable to request a JSP directly: they must hit some other resource that performs a server-side forward (or include, I suppose) in order to access a JSP. Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHD3aV9CaO5/Lv0PARAgtRAJ4nuAHkrvlVJs0Yrk6um2DTu4uOjgCfXNOL pC0McT7NK5cZkusUXflhmWA= =wk0m -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
