That doesn't seem like it buys you anything... Then what's the point of
hiding JSP pages behind WEB-INF, if all of them are available through a
simple forwarding action?
This is the (small) paradox I find with the whole hiding behind WEB-INF
thing. It seems like it should be a good idea, but what do you do about
JSP pages you really want to be shown without any pre-processing (by
that I mean, processing by an action before rendering the JSP).

You could setup a action mapping that just does a forward.
<action path="/signup" forward="/WEB-INF/docroot/signup.jsp" />

So Ted, one small gap in my Struts knowledge (in terms of
best-practices) is, what's the recommended way to build a pass-through
Action which really does just display a JSP page?
I have a "signup.jsp" form, which for the sake of this discussion, is
going to be underneath WEB-INF. I really don't need any processing in an
action to execute prior to displaying the form -- I just want to link to
the (empty) form. Since I can't link directly to it, I need some kind of
really shallow Action to get at it. How do you usually build this?
