So is this something you actually have set up and are using? Is /web/test/jsp known to tomcat (i.e. as part of a context/web application)? Or are you allowing jsp's to appear outside of tomcat contexts/web applications? The thing I wonder about is how this all fits with the directory/web application structure as per the servlet/jsp spec. Basically, I believe the spec says that everything is set up as context/web application (and there's also the ROOT/default context), and the directory hierarchy has a certain structure (e.g. in terms of the WEB-INF, classes, lib directories and the web.xml file). Being able to have jsp's (and/or servlets) elsewhere might seem like a nice convenience, but is it going against the spec? Also, it seems mod_jk allows this, but not mod_webapp. > -----Original Message----- > From: Sean M Alderman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 10:17 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Using JkMount with mod_jk question... > > > Thanks for the clarification John and Milt, I appreciate it.
