No. The "webapp" is bith the application and document root. WEB-INF is the
special folder in webapps which is *not* accessible from server and therefore
mainly for storing private items of the webapp.

OK the directory structure is currently
webapp/ root for the documents web application
index.jsp simple redirector so that http://dddd/jetspeed/ works
images/ images directory
jcm/ all jcm portlets files and images
rss/ all local rss documents
search/ images and files for the "search" portlet
WEB-INF/ private configuration directory
conf/ conf directory where TR.p and JR.p are located
lib/ jar libraries. This is automatically in the classpath of
a Servlet 2.2 runner like Tomcat
log/ the log directory
cache/ the cache directory for external resources
tmp/ a tmp dir used by the feed daemon
templates/ the templates used for the jetspeed screens
jsp/ jsp templates
vm/ velocity templates
wm/ webmacro templates
psml/ the PSML config files
xsl/ the internal stylesheets used by Jetspeed
As you can see WEB-INF contains only configuration or internal use
file, not publicly accessible ones.
And no, jetspeed-config.jcfg or any PSML or XSL files do not currently
need to be accessible by HTTP because we use the servlet runner
getResource() to reach them and thus go directly through file: or
classpath: URLs.
What server are you using for testing Jetspeed, Tomcat or WebSphere ?
