Hi,
	I have a question, I want to be able to access JSP pages that
are outside of the web-inf directory setup by tomcat�I do not know how
to do it, obviously. I have Apache 2 installed and use that at my main
server and then am running tomcat for the purposes of Servlets and JSP�s
and I want to know what I have to do to make myself be able to access a
jsp page that is in a directory like c:\site

You should generally be able to refer to resources in your site by using a path relative to the context. For instance, I have the following site structure:

/MyApp
index.jsp
main.jsp
others.jsp
/WEB-INF
/classes
/com
/ptc
/myapp
SomeClass.class
OtherClass.class
/server
SomeServlet.class
OtherServlet.class
/lib
somejar.jar

To access one of my JSPs from another JSP, I just use a relative path in the "HTML" part of the JSP. To forward to one of my JSPs from a servlet, I use the following line of code:

String TARGET_JSP = "/main.jsp";

javax.servlet.ServletContext sc = this.getServletContext();
javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher rd =
sc.getRequestDispatcher(TARGET_JSP);
rd.forward();

That's one way to do it, even though the servlet is in /MyApp/WEB-INF/classes and the JSP is in /MyApp.
