After some digging by Andrew, it appears that there may be some issuea with how
<@include>'s are performed within a war file rather than with a deployed app.
If the application is deployed as a directory (the war file unpacked into a
directory) then Jasper has no troubles at all finding "../testdir/inc.jsp".
However, it cannot find the file if the app is deployed as a war file. I would
assume that the reason I could not find a similar problem when deploying the war
file in Weblogic is because Weblogic may expand the war file into a temporary
directory before execution.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues with expanded vs War file webapps?
