OK, things just go weirder.

My struts-based webapp uses a welcome page named "index.jsp", which is located in the webapp's root folder.

My other JSP files are all located in the subfolder "WEB-INF/form". According to all of the tutorials I've read, this is a very reasonable thing to do as it makes the JSP files inaccessible to direct access from a web browser and requires that an action be executed in order to have a JSP displayed.

On a whim, I moved all of my JSP files to the root folder of the webapp, modified the global forwards & actions in struts-config.xml and then rebuilt the deployment WAR file. When the updated WAR file was deployed to my OpenVMS system, it suddenly started working. If I switch things back to having my JSP files in the "WEB-INF/form" subfolder then I get the JSP compilation again for Tomcat on OpenVMS. However, for Tomcat on WinXP & NetWare v6.5 there's no problem regardless of where my JSP files are located.

At this point it looks like the Tomcat installation on OpenVMS is having problems with JSP files not located in the webapp's root folder.
