My god, I'm sorry. I posted the directory structure wrong.
Web-inf is the root of the project WEB-INF/web.xml WEB-INF/content/*.jsp WEB-INF/src What I posted earlier wouldn't have been a problem at all. Looking at the time, I think my mind was still on autopilot.... The problem is with the content-folder residing in the WEB-INF folder (the theoretical development environment is Novell ExteND or something, which no-one actually uses, but the project structure and ant script are still being used) "I'm not sure there's anything called a "standard J2EE layout"." => I meant the layout of a (exploded) war file.
