We also do this with Velocity (we use Spring MVC rather than JSP) and point our Velocity ResourceLoader to somewhere else on the filesystem (away from any Apache document root so they aren't accessible). This brings benefits of being able to do hot-deploy of content/templates for urgent copy changes, should we need to, ability to work with things like AlFresco, and not having any logic other than minimal presentational logic in the view layer.

But doing this with JSPs is very dangerous since they can have java code within them. Instead, using a templating language like Velocity would seem to be a mucn better approach. emerson cargnin wrote: > The policy of our company is to deploy the jsp's separated from the > war file, to allow a finer grained control over deployment.
