Are Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1 compatible containers
*required* to support
relative paths that use the '..' notation to refer to
a parent
directory? JRun 3.0, iPlanet 4.1 and Tomcat 3.2.1
seem to accept '..'
in a relative path for static includes of JSP pages,
but not for
dynamic includes (all includes were from a JSP page
with no mappings
defined for them in web.xml).
The JSP 1.1 specification (Section 2.5.2) delegates
the definition of
relative paths to RFC 2396. According to RFC 2396
(Section 5 and
Appendix C), relative paths should be allowed.
