This makes sense but have one last question. If I keep my current architecture with web/frameworks/utils and create a host context pointing to each folder so I can use CF mappings to reference my frameworks i.e. "/opt/tomcat5/webapps/localhost/ MyEclipseProject/frameworks/ColdSpring" to "/ColdSpring" there's no way to keep someone from browsing to localhost/frameworks and I have to have a copy of WEB-INF in each folder for the CF pages to process. Does this sound correct? Is it just a hack and if we plan to switch from single server mode to a J2EE container we should rethink the whole thing? Once again, thanks.
