I previously asked about remapping URLs and got some helpful
responses. In a nutshell, this was recommended:

Looks very good for some purposes.
But I also want to solve a much simpler problem--
I have a very large amount of static content (articles), with each
article in its own directory. A main Table of Contents links to the
start page in each directory, which is *not* index.html (eg
some-main-page.html). I don't want to rename or change those pages as
they have world-wide direct links to them--they have to stay as-is.
But I do want to insert an index.jsp page without altering any content.
For many of these folders inserting a trival index.jsp solves the
index-page problem:
<%@ include file="the-main-page.html" %>
(though I do wonder if google consider this unacceptable duplicate
content)
My pages all use relative links eg "..", "./", etc. So this works
***when the page being included is in the same directory**.
But when the include page is in another directory, none of the
relative links work. None of these variants do the right thing; any
referenced images cannot be found.
<%@ include file="../ReviewInfo.html" %>
<jsp:include file="../ReviewInfo.html" %>
<jsp:forward page="../some-other-page.html" />
The jsp:forward directive seems perfect, but the flaw of not changing
the current location (eg no "cd" is done first) makes it useless for
this purpose. Or does it? Is there something I'm missing here?
Alternately, is there some other trivial solution?
URL-rewriting is not appropriate in this case; there is no particular
pattern, just a fair number of specific cases. I was hoping for a
simple 1-line index.jsp in each directory.
Your examples may be simplified from the real thing, but remember what
the .'s mean: a single one means the current folder, and a double means
the parent of the current folder. So get into another directory at the
same level (both subfolders of the same parent folder), you need to go
up with the double dot, and then back down into the other folder. For
example, if you are in folder B, which is a subfolder of A, and you want
to get into C, which is also a subfolder of A, you need to do:
../C/myotherpage.html.
