Well, if you don't precompile JSPs,there is another way to map a JSP:

<servlet>
 <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
 <jsp-file>/MyPage.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>

You can set up mappings to jsp pages

   <servlet>
       <servlet-name>org.apache.jps.MyPage_jsp</servlet-name>
       <servlet-class>org.apache.jps.MyPage_jsp</servlet-class>
   </servlet>

   <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>org.apache.jps.MyPage_jsp</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/some/dir/you/would/like/to/use/*</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>

Any page called from /some/dir/you/would/like/to/use/ Ie /some/dir/you/would/like/to/use/itworks.jsp

Would go to the MyPage.jsp

Don't know if this is possible with tomcat but;


I need people to be able to request virtual files in a directory of a web application.

As in: A user would request a file (which doesn't exist). This would call a jsp page which would return output based on the name of the file requested, but the user would still see the filename as the one which they originally requested.

I thought that perhaps changing the 404 error page to my jsp file may work, but is it possible to set the 404 error page for just one directory? I would prefer a differant method if there is one.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.
