Re: Changing document root for .jsp files?

[Kurt Overberg]

Yeah, I could do that, but it'd mean rewriting the links to 100's of 
files.  I could even live with putting the entire jsp dir structure 
under one directory, like 'jsps', which lives in the same dir as WEB-INF 
.  So I would essentially be making webapp/jsps the webserver root (as 
it appears to people coming in to the site), and admin and member go 
into the jsps dir as well.  Is that possible?

Can't you just restrict webapp/ to have only index.jsp and directories

Yep.  Right, I understand that.  The root of my webserver is getting 
kinda ugly though (lots of files), and I'd like to keep my 
WEB-INF from 
being a subdir of my root (well, just for website 
appearances), just to 
keep things clean (so I can CVS commit my .jsp files without 
having it 
recursively go into my src files).  Is this just a bad idea?  
There's no 
way to map the root of the webserver to a different directory?

so what I'm saying is:

webapp/root/*.jsp  map to www.site.com/*.jsp
webapp/admin/*.jsp   map to www.site.com/admin/*.jsp
webapp/member/*.jsp  map to www.site.com/member/*.jsp
... or do I have to just suck it up and deal?

Hi all!

I have the following layout for my web application:

webapp/
webapp/WEB-INF
webapp/admin
webapp/member
I have .jsp files in the webapp directory, webapp/admin and 
webapp/member.  When someone goes to the root of my website 
(www.site.com/*.jsp), it gets the files out of the webapp/ 
directory. 

member and admin are protected areas, which all work fine. 
I'd like 

to make another subdir under webapp called root or something like 
that, so the root of the web site isn't one level up from 
my WEB-INF.  

Is this possible?  I've googled incessantly and can't seem 
to find out 

how to do this.  Thanks in advance for any thoughts or 
ideas on this.

Thanks!
