Hi, The spirit of the Servlet Specification is to make webapps self-contained entities that are also portable. Symlinks are not portable and defeat self-containment.
Your options: - Have two copies of the JSPs (should be no big deal, since you should have one copy in source control and do a clean deploy of apps as needed when the source changes) - Set allowLinking="true" for the folder and symlink the JSPs themselves (but not the webapps' folder).
