Hmm, I'm getting a half relevent memory flash here. Weblogic took some time to catch on to the fact that JSPs could be under WEB-INF even though the client could not directly get them from there, I think it was not explicit in the JSP spec in the very earliest of days. I don't know the history of the OpenVMS port of tomcat, but there's a chance that it's using some unusual way of opening the JSPs, perhaps using the same mechanism that clients use, and getting fouled up here. I think I would have a peruse of the tomcat source if you can get it for your port, see if there's anything helpful in there. I know it's not the most enjoyable of tasks wading through a ton of code you don't know (I'm assuming you don't), but I've been watching this thread for about a week now, perhaps it's time.
In the O'Reilly "Programming Jakarta Struts" [1st Ed.], on pages 379-380, this very same issue is discussed in connection with WebLogic. It appears to related to a difference of interpretations of section SRV.6.5 of the Servlet specification. The fact that it is working OK with the Tomcat imlementations on WinXP & NetWare lead me to expect that it should work equally well with other Tomcat implementations, too. However, maybe Tomcat v4.1.24 has this as a bug while v4.1.28 & v4.1.30 handle the situation properly.
If I can get the source code for the Tomcat implementation on OpenVMS I will take the time to review it and compare it with the source code from the implementation that I downloaded for use on WinXP.
