Use the container managed security . If u define security constraint as none,container will not allow anyone directly accessing through request but you can forward it to. This is available only to those container supporting servlet specification 2.3. A Secuirty constraint like
<security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>All JSP Pages</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/base/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> </security-constraint> will not allow anybody to access pages directly using URL like http://localhost:8080/OffBusinessCard/base/menu.jsp You can access pages using request dispatcher. Second approach off-course to put them in WEB-INF directory which can not be directly accessed.
