I guess what it boils down to is this: Where you decide to put your jsp is really a personal preference.
One should be aware of the benefits and drawbacks of whatever they decide. What web server are you using? What servlet container are you using? What app server (if any) are you using? (or does it really matter....hmmmmm) Current popular choices include: 1. At the root of the application 2. In subfolders of the root of the application 3. In the WEB-INF folder 4. In subfolders of WEB-INF Some benefits include: modularity (2 and 4) inaccessible from direct http request (must go through an action mapping) (3 and 4) maintain existing links to your sight (if the orig design was just jsp, which I affectionately refer to the ABA approach to web solutions aka... Model Ass-Backwards ) (1 and 2) *you can always over-come this with some clever servlet mapping I could go on and I'm sure I would still miss many.....so use your best judgment, unless you are considered a mindless droid on a development team guided by "The Architects from Hell", then I guess you wouldn't have a choice...;) <deep-breath/> aaaaaahhhh....I "almost" feel better now.
