After reading the Struts Catalogue and having spent a good amount of time trying to get the JSPs run under the web-inf directory, I figured out that there has been a thread on "Can't place JSP beneath WEB-INF in WebLogic 6.0".
I'm using BEA WL 6.1 and also have the same 404 error mentioned in the message http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg14704.html . However, I also tried it on Tomcat4.0 and Tomcat3.2, which both gave the same 404 error. So it seems to be something I'm doing wrong. Just to make sure -- I have the following setup: 1) directory structure: - myApp - web-inf - jsp (contains one page: start.jsp) - lib - classes ... 2) struts-config.xml ... <action path="/startIt" type="mypackage.StartAction" name="theForm" scope="session" validate="false" parameter="commingIn" input="/web-inf/jsp/start.jsp"> <forward name="display" path="/web-inf/jsp/start.jsp"/> </action> 3) StartAction perform(...){ ... System.out.println("forward path: " + mapping.findForward("display").getPath()); return (mapping.findForward(forward)); } which accurately prints out "path: /web-inf/jsp/start.jsp" Bea doesn't say anything except 404 (basically). Tomcat 3 says: ... 404 ... Original request: /myApp/web-inf/jsp/start.jsp Not found request: /myApp/web-inf/jsp/start.jsp Tomcat4 brings: Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 - HTTP Status 404 - /web-inf/jsp/start.jsp -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- type Status report message /web-inf/jsp/start.jsp description The requested resource (/web-inf/jsp/start.jsp) is not available. The application is packed in a jar file. I checked the contents of the file. Looks as expected (having the jsp in the web-inf/jsp directory). It might have something to do with Win NT4, on which the servers are running. But this is just a guess. Help greatly appreciated!
